The Palestinian health ministry said that the death toll from malnutrition and dehydration in Gaza has risen to 18.
“The famine is deepening and will claim thousands of lives if the aggression is not halted and humanitarian and medical aid is not immediately brought in,” their statement read.
The ministry accused Israel of "deliberately" starving thousands of people in northern Gaza and urged the international community and the UN to stop the war and avoid a "health catastrophe."
