Palestinian with special needs dies from malnutrition in Gaza

A Palestinian with special needs has died from malnutrition in Gaza, according to a medical source at the Baptist Hospital speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic.

The hospital staff said the man succumbed to prolonged hunger and lack of access to adequate care, highlighting the worsening humanitarian disaster under Israel's ongoing siege.

Health officials have repeatedly warned that food insecurity is pushing Gaza’s most vulnerable—especially those with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and children—towards starvation.
