Six more Palestinians have died of Israeli-induced starvation over the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports, citing Gaza’s Health Ministry.

This brings the total number of deaths from starvation to 399 people, including 140 children.

Since the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) officially declared famine in major parts of Gaza in late August, at least 121 deaths have been recorded, including those of 25 children.
