Munir al-Bursh, director of the Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, has issued a stark warning about the escalating famine crisis in the enclave.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, al-Bursh revealed that 289 people, including 115 children, have already died from starvation.
“We are in a race against time to address famine,” he said, emphasising that the humanitarian response must be massive to prevent further loss of life.
Al-Bursh also condemned the restrictions imposed by the Israelis,, calling the denial of healthcare access an intolerable violation.
He added that in the past 24 hours alone, eight Palestinians—including a child—have died due to food shortages.
The crisis underscores the urgent need for international intervention to prevent further deaths in Gaza, particularly among its most vulnerable residents.
