(CAIRO) — Hospitals across the Gaza Strip recorded eight deaths — a child among them — “due to famine and malnutrition” over the past 24 hours, Gaza’s Hamas-run Ministry of Health said Tuesday.

At least 188 Palestinians, including 94 children, have died from hunger in Gaza since the ongoing war began, according to the health ministry.
