Starvation crisis caused by Israeli war and aid blockade kills at least 66 children in Gaza

In the wake of Donald Trump’s extraordinary outburst of profanity outside the White House, a fragile US-brokered truce between Israel and Iran appears to be tentatively holding.

 

In recent days, this has been accompanied by a flurry of messaging from Israel that this cessation of hostilities is just the start.

 

Benjamin Netanyahu, in a brief but emphatic video on Thursday, insisted that after Israel achieved “a great victory” over its staunchest foe, a new opportunity had opened up for a “dramatic expansion of peace agreements”.

 

What next for Gaza as Israel’s shaky truce with Iran holds?

Sucks to be them. Surrender and release the hostages or keep dying.

Israel's military has ordered Palestinians to evacuate from parts of northern Gaza, warning of intense and imminent action there.

 

Posting on X, a spokesman for the IDF told people to head south, where dozens of people have been killed in weekend airstrikes.

 

Shaina Low, of the Norwegian Refugee Council, told DW that people can't travel the route ordered by the Israeli army.

For the beleaguered staff of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, one new casualty brought into the emergency department last week posed a particular challenge.

 

He had been wounded moments earlier in the southern Gaza city while fighting in a battle between rival armed gangs over hundreds of valuable sacks of flours stripped from aid convoys and, within an hour of his arrival, men with assault rifles had invaded the hospital.

 

They roughed up medical staff, smashed equipment and set fire to vehicles.

At least 66 children in Gaza have died from malnutrition since Israel launched a war and blockade on the territory over 20 months ago, local authorities say.

 

Doctors describe newborns wasting away for lack of formula and medical nutrition while families scavenge for any type of milk – none of it suitable for infants.

 

At the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Dr Ahmad al-Fara, neonatal department head, moves between incubators trying to keep babies alive with dwindling supplies.
