The United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) confirmed on Sunday that “malnutrition in Gaza poses a great danger to pregnant women and newborns.”

The UN Fund added, in a post on X platform that “it has become increasingly common for the birth of low-weight babies in Gaza.”

“Malnutrition in Gaza poses a great danger to pregnant women and newborns, amid an increase in stillbirths, low-weight children, and others suffering from wasting and delayed growth.”

The Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip earlier indicated that 34 children were starved to death, while 3,500 children are at risk of death due to malnutrition and starvation.
