Two Egyptian officials said the latest round of discussions had ended. The U.N. children’s agency said on March 4 that at least 10 children have reportedly died in isolated northern Gaza because of dehydration and malnutrition. The Gaza Health Ministry said that 15 children have starved to death at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza and another six were at risk of dying from malnutrition and dehydration. Northern Gaza, the first target of Israel’s offensive, has suffered mass devastation. Up to 3,00,000 Palestinians are believed to remain in northern Gaza after Israel ordered the evacuation of the entire region, including Gaza City, in October.
