The Palestinian health minister has said that 29 children had died from starvation-related deaths in Gaza in recent days and that many thousands more were at risk, Reuters reports.
“In the last couple of days we lost 29 children,” Palestinian health minister, Majed Abu Ramadan told reporters, describing them as “starvation-related deaths”.
Asked to react to earlier comments by the UN aid chief to the BBC that 14,000 babies could die without aid, he said: “The number 14,000 is very realistic may be even underestimating [the scale].”
