Malnourished Baby Highlights Gaza Crisis

(EDITORS NOTE: Image depicts death and graphic content) A severely malnourished Palestinian baby lies on a blanket inside a shelter in Gaza on August 4, 2025, amid a deepening humanitarian crisis in the territory. As conflict, blockade, and displacement persist, Gaza’s civilian population faces extreme shortages of food, medicine, and basic supplies. The baby’s frail condition reflects the widespread nutritional emergency gripping the enclave, where aid groups warn of rising child mortality due to hunger and lack of medical care. With hospitals overwhelmed and food distribution networks crippled, families struggle to care for their children under dire conditions. Ongoing hostilities have compounded the collapse of Gaza’s infrastructure, leaving many without access to clean water or electricity.
