Two children have died in Gaza within the past 24 hours as famine and malnutrition continue to claim young lives under Israel’s ongoing genocide. According to health officials, the total number of deaths linked to starvation has now reached 459, including 154 children, a devastating reflection of a deliberate policy of deprivation.

Since famine was officially declared in parts of Gaza, 181 deaths have been recorded, among them 39 children. Medical workers warn that these figures represent only a fraction of the true toll, as thousands remain trapped without food, clean water, or medical care amid the destruction of hospitals and aid routes.

Israel’s continuing genocide, backed by unwavering U.S. political and military support, has left 67,074 Palestinians dead and 169,430 wounded since October 2023. Most of the victims are women and children, while more than 9,000 remain missing and hundreds of thousands have been displaced in what humanitarian observers describe as one of the darkest chapters of modern history.
