The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has warned that malnutrition is rampant in Gaza, affecting 1 in 10 children. The agency cites restricted access to essential supplies as a major contributing factor. Separately, a US nurse has reported that Israeli authorities confiscated baby formula intended for Gaza, which was being transported by medical workers. This incident underscores the dire humanitarian situation in the region and raises concerns about the impact of restricted aid on vulnerable populations.
