## Malnutrition Crisis Grips Gaza: 1 in 4 Children and Mothers Suffer

**Gaza City:** A stark reality is unfolding in Gaza, where a staggering 25% of young children and pregnant or breastfeeding women screened at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) clinics last week were found to be malnourished. This alarming figure highlights the deepening humanitarian crisis gripping the region.

The medical charity, known by its French acronym MSF, reported these findings following screenings conducted on children aged six months to five years old, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women at their facilities.  They warn that "rates of severe malnutrition in children under five have tripled in the last two weeks alone." 


MSF attributes this crisis to Israel's "policy of starvation," underscoring the urgent need for action to address the growing food insecurity and prevent further suffering among vulnerable populations.

## Mediation Efforts Continue Despite Gaza Talks Suspension

**Qatar and Egypt remain committed to ending the Gaza conflict despite a recent pause in negotiations.** 

In a joint statement released by the Qatari foreign ministry, both nations emphasized their continued “intensive efforts” in mediating talks within the Gaza Strip. While acknowledging a  “some progress” made during the latest round of discussions, they stressed that suspending talks for consultations is “normal” in such complex negotiations. This comes as hopes for an imminent breakthrough appear to be waning.


 **"Suspending talks to hold consultations before resuming dialogue is normal in the context of these complex negotiations,"** the statement read.
