Gaza records 6 deaths from Israeli occupation's starvation policy

RAMALLAH, Sept 8 (KUNA) -- Gaza's health authorities said Monday they recorded six deaths in the past 24 hours from famine and malnutrition, blaming the Israeli occupation's blockade of aid.
The dead include two children, raising the starvation death toll to 393, including 140 children, health authorities said in a press statement.
Gaza also faces Israel's threats of an expanded ground assault amid widespread hunger and a catastrophic humanitarian situation, as UN agencies warn of an unprecedented disaster with a collapsing health system and severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. (pickup previous) nq.mak.lr
