A Palestinian doctor in Gaza warned on Friday that without urgent
intervention providing therapeutic food and medication, children
facing starvation in the besieged territory could die not in weeks,
actually, but in days, Anadolu reports.
Speaking during a virtual briefing moderated by American actor and
activist Cynthia Nixon on starvation in Gaza, attacks on health care,
and detention of Palestinian medical personnel, Dr. Rana Soboh
described an alarming surge in severe acute malnutrition among
children under five, particularly in the north.
You know whats happened in North Gaza? What I have witnessed is
beyond alarming, said Soboh, who serves as the nutrition officer in
Gaza for MedGlobal, a US-based humanitarian organization active in the
Palestinian enclave.
Some of the children we see are so weak that they cannot walk, laugh,
play, sit, or even cry. They come with infection, diarrhea, skin
conditions, severe dehydration, and other complications, and often we
have nowhere to refer them. The few health facilities left are
overwhelmed, destroyed, or without supplies.
