Atef Abu Khater, 17, died on Saturday, a source at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City told Al Jazeera. His weight had dropped from 70kg (154lbs) to just 25kg (55lbs) when he died, his family said – roughly what a nine-year-old child should weigh.

At least six more Palestinians died of malnutrition in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, the Health Ministry in the blockaded enclave said on Sunday. In a statement, the ministry confirmed that the total number of people who have died from starvation had now risen to 175, including 93 children.

Global outrage at the Netanyahu government’s actions has grown since the war began, and the suffering of children in the enclave has accelerated the disdain.
