UNICEF stated on Thursday that 90% of children in Gaza cannot decently grow and make through the deficiency of diverse nutrients. The UN accuses Israel of this situation, which blocks humanitarian convoys.
In the Gaza Strip, months of war and humanitarian aid constraints have broken down food and wellness systems, which had disastrous consequences for children and their families," UNICEF stated.
Five sets of data collected between December 2023 and April 2024 were found to show that 9 out of 10 children in the Gaza Stripwhich since October last year has been attacked by Israeli army, suffers from severe food poverty.
This is evidence of the appalling impact of conflict and restrictions on the ability of families to meet the nutritional needs of children and on the velocity at which it exposes children to the hazard of life-threatening malnutrition," UNICEF said.
To guarantee the minimum diversity of diets essential for healthy development, children must consume food from at least 5 of the 8 food groups determined on the basis of the UNICEF and planet wellness Organisation (WHO) diet diversity index.
These include mother's milk, eggs, dairy products and meat, poultry and fish.
UNICEF reported that around the planet 27 percent of children in early childhood experience serious food poverty, which is above 181 million children under 5 years of age.
