Gaza Hunger Crisis Worsens, Malnutrition Surges
A very serious hunger problem is happening in Gaza, where many people aren't getting enough food.
The lack of food is making children very sick, and some are even dying.
Medical workers are seeing more and more people who are sick because they are not eating properly.
A lot of pregnant women are also affected.
Some organizations say the lack of food is caused by the conditions in Gaza.
The problem is getting worse very quickly.
Malnutrition rates among children under five in Gaza have tripled in two weeks.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) reported that a quarter of young children and pregnant/breastfeeding women screened were malnourished.
The number of patients seeking treatment for malnutrition at an MSF clinic in Gaza City has quadrupled since May.
At least 122 people have died of hunger in Gaza, with nine deaths reported in 24 hours.
Nearly one in three people in Gaza are going without food for days at a time, according to the World Food Programme.
