Gaza infant dies of hunger at just 11 months old

Just 11 months old, Udai Ahmed's short life came to a tragic end this week, TRT reported.

On the 47th day of the Israel Occupation’s ongoing blockade, Udai died from hunger and a lack of access to basic medical care.

His story is one of countless others — children caught in the crossfire of war, stripped of the most fundamental necessities to survive.

Children under the age of one are bearing the brunt of "Israel's" aggression, with medical sources confirming that at least eight babies froze to death during the harsh winter months earlier this year.

Without fuel to heat homes, and with shelters overcrowded and under-equipped, infants have been left particularly vulnerable to the cold, disease, and starvation.

On Thursday, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that no humanitarian aid has entered the Gaza Strip since March 2.

In a series of posts on X, the agency said this is the longest aid cutoff since the war began, three times longer than the blockade imposed in October 2023.
