A months-long Israeli blockade is worsening acute malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, medical charity Medecins du Monde (MDM) warned, accusing Israel of using hunger as “a weapon of war”, AFP reports.
Acute malnutrition in Gaza has “reached levels comparable to those seen in countries facing prolonged humanitarian crises spanning several decades,” said Medecins du Monde.
MDM said data from six health centres it runs in the Palestinian territory highlighted “the human responsibility for hunger in Gaza”.
