Occupied al-Quds, The UN's humanitarian coordinator ad interim for the Occupied Palestinian Territory James McGoldrick warned Wednesday of 'serious acute malnutrition' in northern parts of Gaza. 'I do believe that conditions that people face in the north - lack of access to clean water and sanitation, lack of adequate health care and lack of food supplies on a regular basis - especially target some of the people who are the most vulnerable,' said McGoldrick, speaking to reporters virtually after a two-day visit to Gaza. McGoldrick, In response to a question from Anadolu Agency on the rising death toll from hunger in Gaza amid Israel's siege of the enclave, said he has seen various reports of emaciated children in Gaza, including a 14-day-old infant who died from starvation. 'I think it's quite predictable to see that there will be really serious acute malnutrition in these areas,' he added. Deaths due to starvation were also noted in McGoldrick's report, but also in the reports of the United Nations Chil dren's Fund (UNICEF) and other UN organizations. Source: Syrian Arab News Agency
