Statement by UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa Edouard Beigbeder on the unconscionable deaths of children by starvation in the Gaza Strip

"Children in the Gaza Strip are starving to death.

"Severe malnutrition is spreading among children faster than aid can reach them, and the world is watching it happen. Since April this year, the reported number of children who have died from malnutrition has jumped from 52 to 80 - a staggering 54 per cent increase in less than three months, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. In just 48 hours, at least four more children reportedly died of starvation. In total, more than 100 people have died from malnutrition during this war, and 80 per cent of them are children.

"These deaths are unconscionable - and could have been prevented. The UN-led humanitarian response must be allowed to function fully through unfettered aid access to children in need.

According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) platform, two out of three famine thresholds have been reached in Gaza: plummeting food consumption and acute malnutrition. Famine has not been declared as the third criteria, deaths from malnutrition, cannot be demonstrated.

There is mounting evidence that "widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease" are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths, which is the third famine indicator.

"It's clearly a disaster unfolding in front of our eyes, in front of our television screens," said Ross Smith, UN World Food Programme (WFP) director of emergencies.

"This is not a warning, this is a call to action. This is unlike anything we have seen in this century," he told journalists in Geneva.

Atef Abu Khater, 17, who was healthy before Gaza was gripped by war, lies in intensive care in a hospital in the north of the Palestinian enclave, suffering from severe malnutrition.

"He is not responding to the treatment," said his father, A'eed Abu Khater, 48, who has been sheltering in a tent in Gaza City with his wife and five children. "I feel helpless," he added in a phone call, his voice strained with grief. "We lost our income in the war. Food is unaffordable. There is nothing."

Gaza's hospitals have struggled since early in the war to cope with the influx of Palestinians injured and maimed by Israeli airstrikes and, more recently, by shootings meant to disperse desperate crowds as they surge toward food convoys or head to aid distribution sites.

Images of Mohammad, a toddler whose body has withered to skin and bones, have confronted the world with the grim reality of Israel's starvation policy in the Gaza Strip.

Several Israeli accounts shared Mohammad's photos in recent days, claiming that his medical condition caused him severe weight loss, not Israel's starvation policy in the Gaza Strip.

However, Suzan Marouf, a clinical nutrition specialist at the Patient Friend's Hospital, confirmed that Mohammad's health deteriorated due to severe malnutrition that resulted from the ongoing Israeli siege.

As global outcry mounted this week over the Israeli siege of Gaza, President Trump and his Special Envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced that they are abandoning ceasefire talks with Hamas, and with it any pretense of concern for the territory's two million Palestinians.

"Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die and it's very, very bad," Trump told reporters. "It got to a point where you're going to have to finish the job... They're going to have to clean it up." Witkoff likewise accused Hamas of failing to act in "good faith," and said the US would "now consider alternative options" to "try to create a more stable environment for the people of Gaza."

Aguilar has blown the whistle on the GHF after witnessing Israeli soldiers and US contractors fire on crowds of unarmed, hungry Palestinians at GHF aid sites. "What I witnessed in Gaza, I can only describe as a dystopian, post-apocalyptic wasteland," he told Democracy Now in an interview that aired on Tuesday.

"We " we, the United States " are complicit. We are involved, hand in hand, in the atrocities and the genocide that is currently undergoing in Gaza," Aguilar said.

In a conversation with US Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Aguilar recalled a young boy who trekked miles to reach a GHF site with no shoes and picked up what little food supplies he could find on the ground. "He was so thankful for even that, then he walked up to me and I beckoned him to come forward and he grabbed my hand and kissed my hand and he said shukran, shukran (thank you)," Aguilar told the senator.

After the boy, whose name was Amir, left the GHF site, Aguilar said he was killed by the IDF. "The IDF opened up with machine gun fire into the crowd to get them to leave faster, to get them to hurry. Shooting at their foot, shooting over their heads, shooting into the berm ... so I ran up to the berm to look, and there were dead Palestinians. He was one of them," Aguilar said, pointing to a photo of Amir.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger monitor, said in an alert on Tuesday that the "worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip" due to the US-backed Israeli siege on the Palestinian territory.

The alert comes as Gaza's Health Ministry has reported dozens of starvation deaths over the past week, and photos of emaciated children have increased international pressure on Israel to ease the blockade.

"Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths. Latest data indicates that Famine thresholds have been reached for food consumption in most of the Gaza Strip and for acute malnutrition in Gaza City," the IPC said.
