Report: Two infants die in Gaza from malnutrition

Two infants have died in the Gaza Strip from severe malnutrition and a shortage of infant formula, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The infants died at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis and were buried on Thursday evening, Wafa said. Both deaths were linked to a lack of basic nutrition and limited access to medical treatment.

Medical officials in Gaza last week warned of a worsening health crisis affecting newborns and infants, citing the continued unavailability of baby formula and essential medicines due to the Israeli siege and war.
