Erin Conroy"Malnourished children have an 11-fold increased risk of dying...Vitamin & mineral deficiencies force the body into an “emergency shut-down state” where it loses the ability to make energy, put on weight, or maintain kidney & liver functions."
These children are also "at greater risk of dying from illnesses like diarrhea and pneumonia."
"Cases of diarrhea in children under age five have increased about 2,000% [in #Gaza] since October 7, UNICEF said."
