Although Kamal Adwan Hospital has superior pediatric facilities, the doctors at al-Shifa have sent a large number of their malnourished youngsters there. Nevertheless, a significant number of children have also passed away there.
Ten children are currently in a critical condition, according to Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, head of pediatrics at Kamal Adwan, who stated that in the previous four weeks, starvation or dehydration had claimed the lives of twenty-one children at the hospital.
He declared that Israel was fighting a “war by starvation.”
“Intentionally depriving children of food, killing them with hunger—there is no law in the world that allows occupiers to do this.”
Josep Borrell, the head of EU foreign policy, has also charged Israel with deliberately starving the Gaza Strip. “In Gaza, we are no longer on the brink of famine; we are in a state of famine,” he stated on Monday. “It is not acceptable. Hunger is employed as a military tactic. Israel is causing starvation.”
But there is starvation in Gaza. Senior Middle East spokesperson for the World Food Programme, Abeer Etefa, stated, “The facts speak for themselves.” “1.1 million people under IPC Phase 5 have an enormous amount of hunger. Furthermore, acute malnutrition affects more than one-third of children under the age of two. This implies that they could perish.”
