    WHO Warns of Lasting Hunger Impact on Gaza's Children

    GENEVA (Reuters) -Malnutrition rates are rising in Gaza and hunger could have lasting impacts on "an entire generation", the World Health Organisation's representative for the Occupied Palestinian Territory said on Tuesday.

    "Without enough nutritious food, clean water and access to health care, an entire generation will be permanently affected," Peeperkorn told a press briefing by video link from Deir al-Balah, warning of poor health, stunting and impaired cognitive development.
