A five-month-old girl, Zainab Abu Halib, has died from starvation in Gaza, weighing less at her death than at birth. Her family, displaced and living in a tent, struggled to find the special baby formula she needed, which was unavailable due to ongoing war and restrictions on aid. Zainab is one of 85 children who have died from malnutrition-related causes in Gaza in the past three weeks, as hospitals report a surge in acute malnutrition cases. Aid deliveries remain far below what is needed, and doctors warn that without increased access to food and medical supplies, more deaths are inevitable.
