The United Nations says more than 50,000 children in Gaza are believed to be severely malnourished. The World Food Program says 30 percent of children under the age of two in northern Gaza are severely malnourished. Meanwhile, more than 2,000 children are imprisoned in Israeli prisons.

Israel has been rampaging in Gaza for almost 6 months. None of the buildings, including houses, mosques, hospitals, were spared from the Israeli attack. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health reported that 33,037 people have been killed there since October 7. Besides, another 75 thousand 668 people were injured.

On October 7, the Palestinian independence organization Hamas entered the Israeli border and carried out a sudden attack. Israel then launched a counter-attack on Gaza. Since then, hundreds of Palestinians are losing their lives every day due to attacks by Israeli soldiers.

Meanwhile, it is feared that relief operations there may be stopped due to continued attacks in Gaza. Seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers were recently killed in an attack by Israeli troops in Gaza. In response, the company suspended its operations. As a result, many Palestinians are now worried about how they will provide food for their families.
