MSF accuse Israel has 'manufactured malnutrition crisis' in Gaza

GENEVA, May 7: Doctors Without Borders on Thursday accused Israel of having deliberately restricted food and aid in Gaza, creating a "manufactured malnutrition crisis" with particularly devastating impacts on infants and pregnant and breastfeeding women.

The report also examined what it said was the harm done by the US- and Israeli-backed private organisation set up last year to largely replace UN distribution of aid in Gaza.

That analysis showed significantly higher levels of prematurity and mortality among infants born to malnourished mothers, and spikes in miscarriages, it said.    �"AFP
