Thousands of Gaza children still acutely malnourished after truce, UN reports

Thousands of Gaza children still acutely malnourished after truce, UN reports

Even after a truce was agreed upon, thousands of children in Gaza are still very sick because they don't have enough food.

The UN says that in October, 9,300 children needed treatment for severe hunger.

This is a lot less than in August, but still much higher than before the war.

The UN is trying to bring in more food, but there are still many problems.

Meat is very expensive, and many families can't afford it.

Experts are worried that the hunger will cause long-term harm to the children.

The UN wants all the crossings into Gaza to be open so more food can get in.
