The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa) said on Saturday that “one in three children under two years of age are now acutely malnourished in northern Gaza” in a social media post on X.
“Children’s malnutrition is spreading fast and reaching unprecedented levels in Gaza. Famine is looming. There is no time to waste,” it added.
