United Nations, May 31 (RHC)-- A new United Nations report warns that thousands of children are suffering acute malnutrition as Israel's genocidal blockade slashes aid to Gaza.

According to the latest situation report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), since mid-January, more than 93,000 Palestinian children aged between six months and under five years have been screened for malnutrition, with 7,280 diagnosed with acute malnutrition, including 1,676 with severe acute malnutrition

OCHA also reports that the flow of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip has plummeted by almost 70 percent since May 7th, and what was entering the Palestinian territory prior to that date was “already insufficient to meet the soaring needs.”
