21 children in Gaza have died of malnutrition and starvation in past three days, doctor tells BBC Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, the director of Shifa hospital in Gaza City, says 21 children have died of malnutrition and starvation across the territory in the past 72 hours. Some 900,000 children in Gaza are suffering from hunger, and 70,000 of them are in a state of malnutrition, he tells the BBC. They face alarming numbers of deaths, the doctor warns, with diabetic and kidney patients at particular risk. In addition to these figures from Salmiya, the Hamas-run health ministry says another 15 people in Gaza have died due to starvation and malnutrition in the past day. It brings the total number of such deaths to 101, the ministry says, including 80 children.
