An emaciated 10-year-old Palestinian child, Yazan al-Kafarneh, has died from severe malnourishment and insufficient healthcare as medical sources report that the number of children dying due to malnutrition and inadequate treatment in the Gaza Strip has risen to 16.
Al-Kafarneh's His medical condition rapidly deteriorated as famine across the enclave is becoming increasingly dire.
The famine has prompted new warnings by UN aid agency UNICEF, who's regional director for MENA saying that "the child deaths we feared are here and are likely to rapidly increase unless the war ends and obstacles to humanitarian relief are immediately resolved".
Israel has continued its airstrikes on Gaza's southern city of Rafah, killing 13 people on Monday, as the Ramadan deadline for an Israel assault on the city looms.
Israel's Ramadan deadline for an assault on the city has spurred on peace talks in Egypt, which have entered their second day.
Israel's war on Gaza, which has been ongoing since 7 October, has killed 30,534 Palestinians, with a further 71,920 injured.
