    Israeli Airstrike Destroys Gaza Warehouse, Burying Food Aid for Malnourished Children and Pregnant Women

    An Israeli military strike targeting a nearby building has destroyed a warehouse storing nutrition supplies intended for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers in Gaza. The strike happened overnight in Deir Al Balah, central Gaza. The force of the explosion caused large sections of the building to collapse, including the roof and walls, completely burying supplies beneath the rubble. The warehouse belongs to Ard El Insan (AEI), a local humanitarian organization working in partnership with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) to provide nutritional support to women and children. The medical points supported up to 100 women and children each day. AEI’s team confirmed that the explosion damaged the entire stock, rendering it unsuitable for human consumption. The loss comes as malnutrition remains severe in Gaza, with over 12% of children suffering from stunting and over half of pregnant women having severe anemia.
