Difficulty: Summiteer (Level 3)
Medical workers measured the arms of small children, looking for signs of wasting flesh as a hunger crisis hits Gaza after months of Israel’s attacks there.
Initial data shows that 5 per cent of children under five in the tiny Palestinian enclave are now acutely malnourished, said the UN humanitarian office OCHA last month.
Muhammed Abu Sultan, a doctor working with Unicef, said the poor health conditions in Gaza and lack of food were causing widespread malnutrition, which is when people do not eat enough food or get the nutrients they need.
Aid agencies accuse Israel of keeping deliveries from entering Gaza. The hunger crisis is believed to be far worse in areas that are harder to reach.
Israel has denied that they are limiting humanitarian aid entering Gaza and has blamed problems on the UN.
Experts estimate there will be soon at least 10,000 children in Gaza at risk of malnutrition.
