4-year-old Palestinian child Mohammad Yasin dies tragically from malnutrition
In one of the most tragic manifestations of gaza’s humanitarian catastrophe,four-year-old Palestinian child Mohammad Mustafa Yasin succumbed to malnutrition. Gaza’s Civil Defense confirmed his death yesterday, describing him as an innocent victim who died not from war but from hunger under the brutal blockade and forced famine policies of the occupying regime.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for Gaza’s Civil Defense, stated: “Mohammad yasin died of starvation because the occupying regime prevents food and medical aid from entering Gaza.”
A harrowing video shows Basal cradling the lifeless child,presenting him as a symbol of Gaza’s unfolding tragedy. With a choked voice, he warned: “Mohammad is not the first child to starve to death—and unless this engineered famine ends, he won’t be the last.”
According to statistics released by Gaza’s government media office on Saturday,at least 58 people have died from malnutrition and 242 others from lack of food or medicine since Israel intensified its blockade in March. Most victims were elderly. As conditions worsen, Israel permitted 87 humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza on Wednesday—the first such delivery in 81 days. The supplies came from international charities.
However,Gaza authorities warn that 500 daily aid trucks are needed for basic survival.Hebrew media reported Thursday that a U.S.-company-managed aid mechanism will launch sunday—a plan criticized for imposing conditional controls. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, condemning thes restrictions friday said current deliveries amount to “a drop in a bucket.” He stressed that immediate needs require “500-600 daily UN-supervised trucks.”
The Israeli regime—backed by Washington—now seeks to concentrate all aid distribution through southern Rafah city. Critics allege this aims to forcibly depopulate northern Gaza by weaponizing hunger.
The UN Secretary-General António Guterres rejected complicity:“The UN will only participate in humanitarian operations fully compliant with international law,” directly criticizing U.S.-Israeli plans that disguise displacement as relief efforts.
