Gaza Humanitarian Crisis: Malnutrition Declines Amid Persistent Food Insecurity
Acute malnutrition rates in Gaza have reportedly declined due to increased humanitarian aid and commercial flows, though 1.2 million people remain in a food security crisis. These gains are fragile and threatened by international funding cuts and ongoing conflict, with projections indicating two-thirds of the population will face acute hunger by late 2026. The healthcare infrastructure continues to degrade, with over 1,700 healthcare workers killed since October 2023.
