457 Palestinians killed by starvation in Gaza, health ministry says

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza on Friday said that it recorded two deaths in the enclave, including a child, as a result of famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours.

This brings the total number of Palestinians killed by starvation due to the Israeli-imposed blockade on aid to 457. 

The number includes at least 153 children. 

Since October 2023, Israel’s genocide in Gaza has left at least 66,225 people dead and 168,938 wounded, with thousands more feared trapped under rubble.
