GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL

Two children, including a baby, died of malnutrition in the Israel-blockaded Gaza Strip, medical sources told Anadolu.

A 2-year-old baby, Yousef Safady, breathed his last at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the sources said.

Another child, Abdel Jawad Al-Ghalban, 14, passed away due to severe malnutrition at Nasser Medical Complex in the southern city of Khan Younis, the sources added.

Their death came hours after Ahmed Mohammed Al-Hasanat, 43, lost his life to acute malnutrition at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah city on Tuesday.

Since March 2, Israel has sealed all crossings into Gaza, halting the entry of food, medicine, and humanitarian aid.
