Many of the more than 750,000 Palestinians remaining in north Gaza say they have resorted to desperate measures so they don’t die of starvation, including eating horses, animal feed and leaves. Still, the U.N. says that Palestinians in north Gaza are “one step away from famine,” and that 1 in 6 children in the north who are under the age of 2 suffer from acute malnutrition and muscle wasting.
