Karim al-Madhoun, an 8-year-old Palestinian child suffering from severe malnutrition and cerebral palsy, died in Gaza on Sunday, according to an Instagram post by Eye on Palestine.
"Karim left this world without receiving the treatment he desperately needed," the publication said.
Footage shared by journalist Hassan Salih on the blog’s post shows Karim’s emaciated body as his mother appealed for help before his death.
"He has been suffering from malnutrition for a long time due to being displaced from one area to another since the beginning of the war," she said.
Karim required a special nutritional diet, along with formula, daily medication, and vitamins, to stabilise his condition.
