Infant Mohammad Ibrahim Adas has died due to malnutrition and a lack of infant formula, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Monday, July 28, 2025, bringing the total number of deaths due to malnutrition and famine to 134, including 88 children.

More than 100,000 children in the Gaza Strip, including 40,000 infants under the age of one, are at risk of imminent death due to a total absence of baby formula and nutritional supplements, the Gaza Government Media Office warned, according to Anadolu Agency.

In a stark statement, the media office described the crisis as a “massacre in slow motion,” accusing "Israel" of intentionally starving Gaza’s youngest by maintaining a complete blockade and sealing all border crossings.

The statement revealed that desperate mothers have been forced to feed their infants only water for days, while hospitals and clinics report a rising tide of children suffering from acute, life-threatening malnutrition.

Yesterday, hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded six new deaths in 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition.

Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Mounir al-Bursh, reported that at least 133 people have died from starvation and malnutrition since the crisis deepened, 87 of them children. The deaths come as Gaza’s health care system collapses and access to basic food and medical supplies remains critically limited.

Call for immediate international intervention

Calling the situation “a shocking warning issued in the name of humanity and global conscience,” the media office issued an urgent appeal for the unconditional opening of all crossings and the swift entry of baby formula and nutritional aid.
