Amidst the prolonged Israeli attacks on Palestine, ongoing since 1948, Palestinian children continue to struggle with malnutrition.

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) indicates that malnutrition indicators include stunting, wasting, and underweight. Although cases of malnutrition persist, the Palestinian government assures that the numbers have drastically decreased over the past decade.

In 2010, the prevalence of stunting in Palestine reached 10.9%. This prevalence decreased to 8.7% in 2020.

While still relatively high, this prevalence remains below the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of less than 20%.

According to the Ministry of Health and HaiBunda.com, stunting is a growth disorder resulting from severe or chronic malnutrition and persistent infections, causing children to be short or very short.

Stunting impacts physical health, intelligence, and in severe cases, poses a risk of death.

Next, wasting, with a prevalence of 3.3% in 2010, decreased to 1.3% in 2020.

Wasting is a condition where a child's weight decreases over time, resulting in a total weight significantly below the growth curve standard, even if their height appears normal or age-appropriate. Wasting can also cause edema, characterized by swelling in the child's body.

Finally, underweight, with a prevalence of 3.7% in 2010, decreased to 2.1% in 2020.

Underweight is a condition where a child's weight falls below the average or normal range. Their height also appears shorter than normal. This condition impairs the child's body and can cause problems with their skin, teeth, and bones.
