In Gaza, thousands of children have been killed. 

 In Gaza, thousands of children have been killed. "In addition to the Israeli aggression, another atrocity has been born in Gaza - the" "hunger war."  "" Children are dying one after another.  There is no food in Israel's long-term blockade, not a single tin of milk to feed the children, no guarantee of medicine or nursing.  Children are dying silently - not from war bombs or bullets - but from hunger, malnutrition and lack of milk.  The death toll is increasing day by day.  Gaza's health ministry says 66 children have died of malnutrition.  If things continue as they are, thousands more children could die, according to the health ministry. Aljazeera.

 Over the past few months, Israel has blocked the entry of food, water, baby food, especially powdered milk tins, and other essential nutritious food items into Gaza.  As a result, mothers who are unable to breastfeed are unable to give their babies even the minimum amount of food to keep them alive.  "There is now not a single tin of milk for children in Gaza," an Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Hospital spokesperson, Khalil al-Dakran, told Al Jazeera. ' At least 60,000 children are malnourished due to lack of food.  According to doctors, the incidence of acute malnutrition has increased at an alarming rate in the last few weeks.  The most vulnerable and small children in Gaza are the most affected by the severe food crisis.  Since the start of the war, at least 5,000 children between the ages of six months and five years old have been hospitalized in Gaza with acute malnutrition, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). At least 66 children were among the dead.  Medical services in hospitals have also been disrupted by Israel's deadly attacks.  "Hannah Grace Pan, a volunteer nurse from Britain, told Al Jazeera that" "hospitals are completely out of order."  "" Many children and patients are suffering from severe traumatic injuries such as burns or loss of limbs, but there is not a drop of medicine to relieve their pain.  '

 On Monday, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric called on Israel to immediately open all access points to Gaza to allow in desperately needed aid.  "Due to severe restrictions on relief operations," he stated, "catastrophic levels of hunger" were afflicting "one in five people in Gaza." The World Health Organization (WHO) has said there is no alternative to an immediate ceasefire to save Palestinian lives in the Gaza Strip.  Spokesman Christian Lindmeier stated at a news conference, "The only way to save Palestinian lives is an immediate ceasefire in Gaza." On Tuesday, White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt stated that US President Donald Trump wishes for the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip to come to an end. On the same day, Trump also said that a ceasefire in Gaza could come at any time next week.

 Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to attack Gaza in defiance of international condemnation.  Israel has carried out 140 attacks in the past 24 hours.  At least 116 people were killed and 463 injured.  Since Tuesday morning, six deaths have occurred. In late March, more than 600 Palestinians were killed in aid camps run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.  Since the beginning of the war on October 7, 2023, 56,647 Palestinians have lost their lives.  More than 1,34,105 people were injured.
