At least 57 Gazans died from malnutrition since October 2023: Health official

Gaza, May 3 (UNI) At least 57 Palestinians, mostly children, have died from malnutrition in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli offensive on Oct. 7, 2023, a Palestinian health official said Saturday.
"The number of deaths linked to malnutrition continues to rise amid the ongoing Israeli blockade and the near-collapse of the health sector," Marwan al-Hams, director of field hospitals in the Gaza-based health authorities, told Xinhua.
The official noted that a majority of residents are suffering from anemia due to prolonged poor nutrition and the lack of basic food supplies, and field hospitals are witnessing increasing cases of anemia among blood donors, which hampers emergency medical services.
