What happened
Widespread hunger remains persistent in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel a year ago that was supposed to allow more food into the Palestinian territory. A new study published on Thursday by Médecins du Monde reported that 93 percent of pregnant or breastfeeding women had symptoms of anaemia, which is closely linked to malnutrition.
