Child malnutrition in Gaza is reaching catastrophic levels, UNICEF has warned, with the latest evidence showing a record number of children suffering acute malnutrition.
In August, 13.5% of children screened across Gaza were found acutely malnourished, up from 8.3% in July. The humanitarian situation is even worse in Gaza City, where famine was confirmed last month, with 19% of children admitted showing signs of malnutrition, an alarming rise from 16% in July.
