More than 100 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza, with five-year-old being latest casualty

A five-year-old has died from malnutrition in the Gaza Strip on Monday, Al Jazeera reported, citing medical sources.

Mohammed Zakaria Khader is the 101st child to die from hunger and malnutrition in the territory, and the 222nd person overall.

All of these deaths are preventable and have arised from Israel only allowing limited aid into the country and imposing a blockade on humanitarian aid organisations trying to bring aid into the strip.
