15 children died at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the besieged Gaza Strip in the face of Israeli aggression. All of them died due to malnutrition and dehydration. Several other children are in danger of death. The Ministry of Health of Gaza reported the information on Sunday (March 3).

Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement that 15 children died at Kamal Adwan Hospital due to malnutrition and dehydration. Due to shutdown of electric generator and lack of oxygen supply, proper treatment is not possible there. As a result, the lives of six more children in the intensive care unit are in danger.

On February 19, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned that malnutrition has become a ‘serious threat’ to the health of children, pregnant women and lactating mothers in the Gaza Strip in the face of Israeli attacks.

The United Nations says Israel’s offensive has pushed 85 percent of Gaza’s population into acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine. 60 percent of the valley’s infrastructure was damaged or destroyed in the attack.

On October 7, Hamas and its affiliates launched a surprise attack on Israel. Since then, Israel has been carrying out brutal attacks on Gaza in the name of revenge. At least 30,410 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 71,000 people have been injured. Gaza’s health ministry said most of the victims were women and children.

Israel is being sued for genocide at the International Court of Justice due to its aggression in Palestine. In an interim ruling last January, the court ordered Tel Aviv to stop its genocidal actions and take measures to guarantee humanitarian aid to Gaza’s civilians.
