Palestinian child who died of Israeli-imposed starvation was local sports champion

We reported earlier on the death of 17-year-old Atef Abu Khater due to Israeli-imposed starvation. Al Jazeera, who spoke to his family, is reporting that Khater was very healthy prior to Israel's war on Gaza, and used to be a local sports champion.

He was hospitalised in intensive care after losing a lot of weight, and ultimately died.

He is among 163 Palestinians, 92 of them children, who have died of Israeli-imposed starvation since Israel imposed its total blockade on Gaza in March.
