Unrwa: over 50,000 children in Gaza urgently need treatment for malnutrition

Over 50,000 children in Gaza require treatment for acute malnutrition, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) said on Saturday.

Continued restrictions on humanitarian access to the enclave are producing "desperate levels of hunger," the agency said in a post on X.

"Unrwa teams work tirelessly to reach families with aid but the situation is catastrophic."
