Nine out of 10 children in Gaza lack food for growth: UNICEF
About 90 percent of children in Gaza lack nutrition and face “severe” threats to their “survival, growth and development”, according to the United Nations children’s agency, UNICEF.
A report, published by UNICEF on Thursday, laid bare the “catastrophic impact” of Israel’s offensive on the enclave, which has caused the “collapse” of food and health systems, finding that one in 10 children survived on “two or fewer food groups per day” between December last year and April this year.
Alexandra Rutishauser-Perera is Head of Nutrition, Action Against Hunger UK.
