Gaza is starving: Children could face long suffering – “They live on animal feed”. Asim al-Najjar was born in Gaza City on December 21, he weighed more than eight pounds, above average for a newborn boy.
But at more than three months, after going without milk or nutrients for most of his short life in the hunger-striking Gaza Strip, his weight has dropped to just over six pounds. Humanitarian officials have warned of an ‘imminent’ famine in the Gaza Strip. Israel denies it is restricting aid and accuses the United Nations of not doing enough to provide aid.
