Prominent Palestinian academic dies from Israeli-imposed Gaza famine

A prominent Palestinian academic, writer, and poet, Omar Harb, has died from severe malnutrition as a result of the Israeli-imposed famine in the Gaza Strip. Before his death, Harb had lost 26 family members and five homes to Israeli attacks, and his own weight had dropped dramatically from 120kg to 40kg. His death brings the total number of famine-related fatalities in Gaza to a reported 370, with most victims being children, women, and the elderly. The report is part of a live blog covering the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis.
