Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, head of the pediatric ward at Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza

“There is no one in Gaza now outside the scope of famine, not even myself,” Dr. al-Farra told the New York Times. “I am speaking to you as a health official, but I, too, am searching for flour to feed my family.”

Dr. al-Farra said the number of children dying of malnutrition had risen sharply in recent days.
