Six more Palestinians killed by starvation, toll 393

Six more Palestinians, including two children, have been killed by starvation in Gaza in the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry has said.

The latest deaths bring the toll to 393, including 140 children, the ministry added in a statement.

115 of the deaths, 25 of them children, occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared famine in Gaza last month.
