Children in Rafah protest against hunger in Gaza

In the southern city of Rafah, children have protested against the severe lack of food and water in Gaza, with less than one week from the month of Ramadan. They called upon Arab countries and the international community to take action against the dire situation in the Strip.

Many held banners saying "Stop our daily death," while others were seen carrying body bags on stretchers, as a sign of those who died of starvation. 

Earlier, health authorities in Gaza confirmed there had been 18 deaths resulting from malnutrition and dehydration in the besieged enclave.
