On August 14th, local time, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs released a report stating that in July, nearly 13,000 children in Gaza were hospitalized due to severe malnutrition, with 2,800 of them suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
The report also noted that in July, the World Food Programme arranged for 1,012 trucks to be dispatched from Gaza border crossings, carrying a total of 13,000 tons of food. However, only 10 trucks arrived at the designated warehouses within the Gaza Strip, while the rest were “unloading on the way.” The report stated that it is currently unclear whether this was an organized theft or a group robbery.
