The UN warns thousands of Gaza infants risk starvation as Israel’s blockade has depleted all formula milk. Doctors report a ‘silent catastrophe’, with 66 children already dead from malnutrition and 580 fragile infants at Nasser Hospital in critical danger. Mothers, too starved to breastfeed, watch helplessly as babies wail from hunger. Israeli authorities ban formula imports, leaving pharmacies empty and families desperate. At Al-Aqsa Hospital, the last medical-grade formula has run out. A paediatrician describes infants’ bodies shutting down with no safe alternatives.
Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah on this man-made famine.
