Nell Hudson Instagram – This situation is already much worse than when this was first posted. BEFORE I Repost the caption from @doctorswithoutborders let me add my own words – these are CHILDREN, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. I am an insanely privileged and supported mother living in full safety and comfort and having a baby is STILL terrifying and hard. I can’t imagine how desperate i would be feeling if I were a mother in Gaza. Every day I am humbled with heavy gratitude that I am not there (or in Ukraine, or Sudan, Congo…) This is completely f***ing unacceptable and our leaders are not just complicit they are participants. THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. nothing but luck separating these people from you. It could be you. It will be you. Do something say something!
It is deeply frustrating and sad that speaking out for starving women and children could be interpreted as an “attack” on anyone other than those responsible.
ORIGINAL CAPTION:
What malnutrition is like at our clinics in Gaza:
Our teams are screening over 1,000 people a week at our clinics in Khan Younis and Gaza City, with a global acute malnutrition rate of 20 percent.
This graph above shows that between August 3 and August 9, 1 in 5 children aged 6 months to 5 years old and pregnant and breastfeeding women screened at these clinics were malnourished.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women make up more than half of the patients enrolled in our Gaza City malnutrition program.
*These figures are from MSF’s activities at our Gaza City and Khan Younis clinics and do not reflect the full scale of the malnutrition crisis across the Strip. | Posted on 07/Sep/2025 16:08:45
