The Ministry of Health in Gaza has announced that at least 15 children have died in the past few days due to malnutrition and dehydration at Kamal Adwan Hospital.
“We fear for the lives of another six children who are suffering from malnutrition and diarrhea in the intensive care unit,” said ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra.
The hospital is facing a dire situation due to the electrical generator not working, lack of oxygen, and shortage of medical staff.
The hospital director announced on Friday that seven children had died due to severe dehydration and malnutrition.
The hospital has been non-functional for months due to Israeli attacks and a shortage of fuel and medications.
