Gaza's health ministry warned Friday that malnutrition rates have reached catastrophic levels as the territory enters its fourth year under what it describes as a systematic Israeli starvation policy, Shehab Wire reported. Children, the elderly, and vulnerable populations face the most severe effects.
The ministry did not provide specific figures in the available statement but characterized the nutritional crisis as devastating to susceptible groups across the enclave.
