The nutrition situation in Gaza is deteriorating. Over the first 120 days of the current war, there has been a sharp increase in the main drivers of malnutrition – including food insecurity, a lack of diet diversity, deteriorating infant and young child feeding practices, a lack of access to safe water and sanitation, widespread disease, and a collapsed health system.
This has severe consequences for those most vulnerable to malnutrition – namely young children and pregnant and breastfeeding women. Findings from this analysis suggest that the nutrition situation of women and children in Gaza is worsening everywhere, but especially in Northern Gaza where 1 in 6 children are acutely malnourished and an estimated 3% face the most severe form of wasting and require immediate treatment. The nutrition situation is also worsening in Rafah.
While there are differences in the data across the governorates, it is expected that all areas of Gaza will be affected by malnutrition. The lives, nutritional wellbeing, growth, and development of Gaza’s children is at stake and needs to be urgently protected.
Key findings from the report include:
Women and children in Gaza require immediate humanitarian access
Overall, the evolution of the nutrition situation will be determined by humanitarian access. Areas with very limited humanitarian assistance and with high burden of disease and food insecurity, are likely to experience a more rapid deterioration in the nutritional status of populations vulnerable to malnutrition – particularly children under 5 and pregnant and breastfeeding women.
In areas with greater humanitarian access, the speed and scale of deterioration will be continuous though likely slower. This will result in a consistent and constant rise in child wasting, maternal undernutrition, and micronutrient malnutrition.
