A heartbreaking story has emerged from Gaza, where a young Palestinian child named Mohammad Al-Najjar passed away from malnutrition, dehydration, and the scarcity of medical supplies. The child's father, Naim Al-Najjar, expressed his anguish, stating that his son was 'dying in front of our eyes' as the family struggled to find food and drink due to Israel's siege on the region.
According to medical sources, Mohammad's death is just one of many tragic cases in Gaza, where at least 30 Palestinians, including 24 children, have died from malnutrition. The dire situation in Gaza has been described as 'suffocating' by Al-Najjar, who emphasized that children are 'dying in front of our eyes' due to the lack of essential resources.
Al-Najjar painted a poignant picture of his son, describing him as a 'lovely and bright' child before the effects of malnutrition took hold. He shared old photos of Mohammad looking happy and healthy, highlighting the stark contrast to his final days, where he suffered visibly from starvation.
The tragic death of Mohammad Al-Najjar serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where families are struggling to access basic necessities and medical care. The international community has been called upon to address the urgent needs of the people in Gaza and to take action to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
