The Gaza health director on Tuesday said that some 320,000 children under the age of five in the strip are at risk of acute malnutrition as a result of the Israeli blockade, Arab48 reported.
The report also quoted the director general of pharmacy at the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, who said that a severe medicine shortage is worsening the health crisis in Gaza.
More than 62 percent of the medicines needed to serve about a quarter of a million people who frequent primary healthcare facilities are not available in Gaza, the official said.
