A Gazan mother has told the BBC that she struggles to feed her two-month-old daughter and asked that her baby is taken out of Gaza to undertake medical treatment.
Speaking from Nasser Hospital, Yasmeen Abu Sultan said “at birth, she weighed 2.7 kilograms. Now, she weighs just 2.6 kilograms.”
Yasmeen also suffered from malnutrition herself whilst pregnant and said that she had no proper way of nourishing her baby.
UN-backed global food security experts warn that the “worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out” in the Gaza Strip,
Israel has denied there is starvation in Gaza and has rejected accusations of being responsible for food shortages.
