News Center- The Gaza Strip has been experiencing a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing Israel’s aid blockade on food, medical and hygiene supplies since March 2, 2025.

At least 41 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip since Monday morning, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

According to the news agency, Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza has confirmed the death of an infant named Mohammed Ibrahim Adas, who succumbed to severe malnutrition and a lack of infant formula. At least 132 Palestinians, including 88 children, have died from starvation in Gaza since the war began in October 2023.

Israel keeps using hunger and thirst as weapons of war. According to the latest findings of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), one in every five children is malnourished in Gaza City as cases increase every day.

‘People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive’

“When child malnutrition surges, coping mechanisms fail, access to food & care disappears, famine silently begins to unfold,” Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General, said in a post on social media platform X on Friday, stressing that the deepening crisis in Gaza “is affecting everyone, including those trying to save lives in the war-torn enclave.”

 “People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses”, a colleague of Philippe Lazzarini in Gaza told him on Friday.

Philippe Lazzarini also called on Israel to allow humanitarian partners to bring unrestricted & uninterrupted humanitarian assistance to Gaza. “We, at UNRWA, have the equivalent of 6,000 loaded trucks of food & medical supplies in Jordan and Egypt.”

At least 59,821 Palestinians have been killed and 144,851 others have been injured in Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
