MSF accuses Israel of manufacturing a malnutrition crisis in Gaza

Doctors Without Borders accused Israel of manufacturing a malnutrition crisis in Gaza through restrictions on food and aid deliveries, citing analysis of medical data from four health facilities showing that more than half of pregnant women treated between June 2025 and January 2026 suffered malnutrition, with 90 percent of babies born under those conditions premature. MSF stated malnutrition was nearly non-existent before October 2023 and attributed the crisis to Israel's blockade, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and healthcare facility closures, while noting that only approximately 150 of the promised 600 daily aid trucks currently enter Gaza.
