More than 14,000 children have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. In addition, thousands are left suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration.
Doctors at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza say they’re seeing many infants daily whose weight does not match their age. They are appealing for desperately needed supplies as at least 27 children have died of malnutrition and dehydration since October.
“Being part of the ICU staff at Kamal Adwan hospital, we clearly notice the influx of newborns suffering from acute malnutrition and advanced severe dehydration,” a doctor at the medical complex said.
“This is mainly due to absence of formula milk. As a result, babies reach critical and severe degrees of dehydration and acidemia disorders and ultimately death. On a daily basis, we receive two to three cases of underweight babies.”
