“People started stealing just to eat… Sick children cannot withstand famine.”Umm Ubaida comforts her daughter, Yasmin, aged 5, in Nasser Hospital, on Tuesday.
CNNCNN footage from Nasser Hospital on Tuesday showed another evacuee – five-year-old blood cancer patient Yasmin – squirming in pain, her emaciated limbs sprawled on a teal mattress.
Among those are 980 children with cancer – including 250 patients who could face “certain death” – the ministry reported on Friday.
Israeli attacks in Gaza have since killed 37,718 Palestinians and injured another 86,377 people, according to Gaza health officials.
Brothers Amjad, aged 2, and Ahmad, aged 7, are shown in Nasser Hospital, southern Gaza, before their medical evacuation to Egypt.
