Salwa, 4 ½, one of five children who starved to death at Patient’s Friends Hospital for lack of nutrition supplies

Salwa arrived at the hospital with alarmingly low potassium levels. She could barely move her body. But medicine for potassium deficiency has largely run out across Gaza. Salwa did not respond to the low-concentration potassium the hospital was able to give her and died after three days.

The hospital staff is starving, too. Two nurses put themselves on IV drips to keep themselves going. “We are exhausted. We are dead in the shape of the living,” said nutritionist Dr. Rana Soboh.
