WHO Warns of Mass Starvation in Gaza
Imagine many people in Gaza don't have enough food to eat.
The head of the World Health Organization says many are starving.
Food isn't getting to them because of problems with getting aid in.
This is making people very sick, especially children.
Some children have sadly died because they didn't have enough food.
The situation is getting worse because it's hard to get help and food to those who need it.
WHO chief warns of widespread starvation in Gaza.
Food deliveries are far below what is needed for survival.
Over 20% of screened pregnant and breastfeeding women are malnourished.
21 deaths of children under five due to malnutrition have been documented.
Starvation is accelerated by collapsed aid pipelines and access restrictions.
