The Palestinian child Yazan Al-Kafarna passed away today, Monday, at Kamal Adwan Hospital due to starvation and malnutrition in northern Gaza Strip. The news of Yazan's death has sparked outrage among social media users, with some bloggers questioning how long Israel will continue its policy of starvation against the residents of Gaza without accountability, while others inquired about children's rights organizations.
Yazan Al-Kafarna, who had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy since birth, was on a special diet that included specific foods, drinks, and supplements. However, since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, many supplies and foodstuffs have been cut off. A photo of Yazan taken a week before the war began is sufficient to describe his condition, as confirmed by his father.
Yazan, displaced with his family from Beit Hanoun to Rafah, battled death in silence with a frail body. His condition was similar to that of many other children, as numerous activists shared videos claiming that this war is akin to a nuclear war, but with the daily torture being the most difficult aspect.
