With over 1,000 killed near aid sites and 81 children dead from hunger, Gaza faces a man-made humanitarian collapse

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.

According to Palestinian health officials, more than 100 Palestinians in Gaza have died from hunger and malnutrition since the beginning of the war, most of them in recent weeks as Israel's blockade of aid allowed into the region continues.

Supplies of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food, a crucial treatment, would be depleted by mid-August if nothing changed.

Elidalis Burgos, an American nurse volunteering in Khan Younis, told NBC News that extreme malnutrition due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza is affecting patients’ chances of survival, and now also impacting the health of her fellow medics.
