Gaza famine death toll hits 101, including 80 children, says health ministry

The number of people who have died from famine and malnutrition in Gaza has climbed to 101, the territory’s Ministry of Health said on Tuesday.

Health officials said 80 of those who died were children. In the past 24 hours alone, hospitals reported 15 additional deaths, including four children.

The death is part of a growing number of malnutrition-related deaths in the besieged enclave, where food remains scarce and aid deliveries remain largely blocked by Israel.
