The Hamas-run Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said in a Monday statement that another 14 people died of malnutrition over the previous 24 hours, including two children. Another 29 Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes since midnight local time, the ministry said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says no one in Gaza is starving. President Donald Trump disagrees and notes the images emerging of emaciated people.

As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.
