دعت المنظمات الإنسانية التابعة للأمم المتحدة، إلى اتخاذ إجراءات عاجلة بعد أن أعلنت مصادر طبية في غزة وفاة أكثر من 100 طفل بسبب سوء التغذية منذ بداية الحرب على القطاع في أكتوبر 2023.
ونقلت وكالة الأنباء والمعلومات الفلسطينية (وفا)، عن مصادر طبية قولها إن العدد الإجمالي لضحايا المجاعة وسوء التغذية في القطاع ارتفع إلى 227 فلسطينياً، من بينهم 103 أطفال.
ووصف مكتب الأمم المتحدة لتنسيق الشؤون الإنسانية (أوتشا)، تجاوز حصيلة الوفيات بين الأطفال حاجز المئة بأنها «كارثة تلطخ سمعة العالم وتستدعي تحركاً عاجلاً طال انتظاره».
وحذر برنامج الأغذية العالمي من أن أكثر من 300 ألف طفل في غزة يواجهون خطراً شديداً، وأن أكثر من ثلث السكان أفادوا بعدم تناول الطعام لأيام متتالية، مؤكداً أن تلبية الاحتياجات الغذائية تتطلب ما يزيد على 62 ألف طن شهرياً، بينما لا تزال الكميات المسموح بإدخالها أقل بكثير من الحد الأدنى اللازم لبقاء نحو مليوني شخص على قيد الحياة.
وأضاف «أوتشا» أن الأمم المتحدة وشركاءها تمكنوا، الأحد، من إدخال بعض المواد الغذائية والوقود والإمدادات من معبر كرم أبو سالم، إلا أن الشحنات أُفرغت قبل وصولها إلى وجهتها.
وأفاد بأن السلطات الإسرائيلية تسمح بإدخال نحو 150 ألف لتر من الوقود يومياً، وهو أقل بكثير من المطلوب لضمان استمرار العمليات المنقذة للحياة.
وأكدت تقارير أن أكثر من نصف سيارات الإسعاف في غزة توقفت عن العمل بسبب نقص الوقود وقطع الغيار، في وقت حذرت منظمة الأغذية والزراعة من أن 1.5% فقط من الأراضي الزراعية في القطاع لا تزال صالحة، في مؤشر على انهيار شبه كامل للنظام الغذائي المحلي.
وأعلنت مصادر طبية في قطاع غزة، اليوم (الثلاثاء)، وفاة 5 فلسطينيين، من بينهم طفلان، نتيجة المجاعة وسوء التغذية، سجّلتها مستشفيات قطاع غزة، خلال الساعات الـ24 الماضية.
يذكر أن الأزمة الإنسانية في قطاع غزة مستمرة في ظل الحصار ونقص الإمدادات الغذائية والطبية. وتغلق السلطات الإسرائيلية منذ 2 مارس 2025 جميع المعابر مع القطاع، وتمنع دخول معظم المساعدات الغذائية والطبية، ما تسبب في تفشي المجاعة داخل القطاع.
وسبق أن حذرت وكالة الأمم المتحدة لغوث وتشغيل اللاجئين (الأونروا)، من أن سوء التغذية بين الأطفال دون سن الخامسة قد تضاعف بين مارس ويونيو، نتيجة لاستمرار الحصار.
وأكدت منظمة الصحة العالمية أن معدلات سوء التغذية في غزة وصلت إلى مستويات مثيرة للقلق، وأن الحصار المتعمد وتأخير المساعدات تسببا في فقدان أرواح كثيرة، وأن نحو واحد من كل 5 أطفال دون سن الخامسة في مدينة غزة يعاني سوء تغذية حاداً.

The United Nations humanitarian organizations have called for urgent action after medical sources in Gaza announced the death of more than 100 children due to malnutrition since the beginning of the war on the sector in October 2023.
The Palestinian News and Information Agency (Wafa) reported that medical sources stated the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition in the sector has risen to 227 Palestinians, including 103 children.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) described the death toll among children exceeding one hundred as a "disaster that tarnishes the world's reputation and calls for urgent action long overdue."
The World Food Programme warned that more than 300,000 children in Gaza are facing severe danger, and more than a third of the population reported not eating for consecutive days, emphasizing that meeting nutritional needs requires more than 62,000 tons monthly, while the quantities allowed to be brought in remain far below the minimum necessary for the survival of about two million people.
OCHA added that the United Nations and its partners were able, on Sunday, to bring in some food, fuel, and supplies through the Kerem Shalom crossing, but the shipments were unloaded before reaching their destination.
It reported that Israeli authorities allow the entry of about 150,000 liters of fuel daily, which is much less than needed to ensure the continuation of life-saving operations.
Reports confirmed that more than half of the ambulances in Gaza have stopped working due to a lack of fuel and spare parts, while the Food and Agriculture Organization warned that only 1.5% of agricultural land in the sector remains viable, indicating a near-total collapse of the local food system.
Medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced today (Tuesday) the death of 5 Palestinians, including two children, due to famine and malnutrition, recorded by hospitals in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.
It is noteworthy that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues amid the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies. Israeli authorities have been closing all crossings with the sector since March 2, 2025, preventing the entry of most food and medical aid, which has led to the spread of famine within the sector.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) had previously warned that malnutrition among children under five had doubled between March and June due to the ongoing blockade.
The World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, and that the deliberate blockade and delays in aid have caused many lives to be lost, with about one in five children under five in Gaza City suffering from acute malnutrition.
