In Gaza, few therapeutic options are available to impacted children.</p> <h3>Read more:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/over-50000-children-under-five-suffering-acute-malnutrition-gaza">Over 50,000 children under five suffering acute malnutrition in Gaza</a></h3> </div> </div> </article>
