Malnourished Gazan woman flown to Italy dies in hospital
Malnourished Gazan woman, Marah Abu Zuhri, dies in an Italian hospital after being flown out for treatment. She suffered severe malnutrition and died of a cardiac arrest in less than 48 hours after arriving in Pisa. The tragic incident sheds light on the widespread malnutrition crisis in Gaza, with over 180 individuals evacuated to Italy for medical care amid Israel's conflict with Gaza. Efforts are ongoing to bring sick and injured children from Gaza to other countries, with British MPs urging the UK government to quickly evacuate children in need.
