Last week, the United Nations He warned more than 14,000 babies If Israel continues to prevent the help of Gaza, he would die in 48 hours.
After the figure wide declareThis schedule returned back, with the UN spokesman clarifying The projection is for the next 11 months.
With March 2025 and the March 2026 Will be A small amount of sharp nutritional incidents between children under five years, including 14,100 heavy work.
Severe sharp feeding One child is extremely thin and the risk of dying.
About 17,000 breastfeeding and pregnant women will require treatment for sharply nutrition during this period.
Hunger and nutrition are harmful to everyone. But the impact for babies can be deep and durable.
What is nutrition?
In babies and young children, nutrition means that there is an altitude, weight and head around the standard graphics due to the lack of adequacy nutrition.
The lack of nutrition is especially common among young children and pregnant women.
The human body needs 17 key minerals. Sink, iron and iodine shortcomings are the most dangerous, It is closed The higher risk of babies who have brain damage or improves.
When nutrition is severe for fierce, babies and young children will lose weight Because they do not receive enough food and because they are more sensitive to diseases and diarrhea.
This causes wasting.
Childhood Inexperienced Significant weight lost or can’t win weight, resulting in a dangerous extent ratio.
Causes adequate food resistant chronic nutritionor dirtywhere growth and development are violated.
Infections and risk of death
False babies have weakened immune systems. This makes them more Sensitive to the development of infectionsdue to smaller organs and acuity in lean mass. The oilless mass is the weight that the body is oil-free and measure To support healthy growth, strength and general development.
When the children are hungry, they are more likely die from common diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia.
Infections can make it difficult swallow food itemsCreate one dangerous period and to worsen the nutrition.
Chronic nutrition affects the brain
The human brain is developing at an unusual speed Within the first 1000 days of life (the concept of up to two years). Enough nutrition during this time main.
Children’s developing brains have more impact food shortage than adults.
Long time, nutrition can lead to structural brain changes, including a smaller brain and less Myel – Protective membrane that will sarcate around nerve cells and help them send a message to the brain.
Chronic nutrition can affect brain functions and processes such as making meditation, language, attention, memory and decision.
This may cause neurological effects Lifelong Issues.
Can brain damage be permanent?
Yes, especially when nutrition occurs during feeding Important periods of brain developmentas the first 1000 days.
However, some effects are reversed. Early, intensive interventions – as the entry of food and medications that are rich in food and medicines (low blood sugar) (low blood sugar) and food rich in low blood sugar) – can help children to grow and brain.
For example, a look Unsecured preschoolers have improved cognitive abilities such as the participation of children, concentrations, thinking and emotional regulation, when iron additives and multivitamins were given.
However, in the age of two, it increases the risk of nutrition during an important window Lifelong Disabled.
It is also important to note that a nutrient is more likely in an environment where the food is available and the possibility of their emotional needs of children.
Israeli military operations were destroyed in Gaza 94% of the hospital infrastructure and humanitarian aid is severely limited. The conditions needed to restore children are unavailable.
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers
Fierce mother nutrition During pregnancy, the mother and child may increase the risk of dying or experiencing complications.
When a breastfeeding mother is nourished, he will produce less breastfeeding and will low quality. Demolitions in iron, iodine and vitamins A, D and Zinc reduce the value of the breast milk, which will compromise the mother’s health. This can do contribute to the growth and development of weak babies.
AC remaining mothers Fatigue, health and psychological distress can live, it is difficult to feed breast milk.
Other body effects
Data of the births during the course of Dutch scarcity of 1944-45 When their mother was hungry, they were imagined and born to understand their vital health effects.
Among this groupNutrition affected the development and function of the heart, lungs and kidneys, including many children’s bodies.
In this group, schizophrenia, depression and concern had higher rates of higher performance Cognitive test.
They There was a higher risk Dying chronic degenerative diseases (eg cardiovascular diseases and kidney failure) and ahead of time.
Damage is irreversible?
Restoration possible. However, it depends on how hard the child feeds and when and what support.
Shows proof Children remain sensitive and are higher risk of dying after being treated for complications without severe sharp nutrition.
Effective interventions include:
-
Nutrition Rehabilitation (Children with food, specialized nutrition and main shortcomings)
-
Breastfeeding support for mothers
-
Show rehabilitation and health care in society (so families and children can return to daily rules).
If it is not possible in Gaza, starting Israel’s help and Ongoing military operations The average security and infrastructure is severely violated.
Nutrition or Nutritional Episodes increase risk Sustainable development damage.
