Tragic Outcome for Malnourished Gazan Woman Evacuated to Italy

An emaciated young woman from Gaza succumbs to malnutrition in an Italian hospital.


Marah Abu Zuhri, a 20-year-old from Gaza, has died in a hospital in Italy just two days after being evacuated for urgent medical care. Despite efforts by Italian authorities to provide aid amid Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza, the situation remains dire as malnutrition continues to rise.

In a heartbreaking incident, a 20-year-old woman from Gaza named Marah Abu Zuhri has tragically passed away in a hospital in Italy, less than 48 hours after being evacuated for urgent treatment. Evacuated with her mother on an overnight flight to Pisa under a government initiative, Marah arrived with severe malnutrition, suffering significant weight loss and muscle deterioration. Unfortunately, she suffered a cardiac arrest and succumbed to her condition on Friday.

The United Nations has raised alarms about widespread malnutrition in Gaza, with experts warning of a potential famine as the ongoing conflict intensifies. Despite allegations of starvation in the enclave, the Israeli government has denied such claims, suggesting that aid organizations have failed to deliver assistance effectively.

Since the onset of hostilities, over 180 patients, primarily children and adults with serious health issues, have been flown to Italy for treatment. This week alone, 31 individuals suffering from severe medical conditions arrived in Rome, Milan, and Pisa. The situation continues to deteriorate, as British lawmakers have urged the UK government to expedite the evacuation of sick and injured children from Gaza, an initiative that has seen limited progress thus far.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military has announced intentions to provide shelter to residents displaced by continuous bombardment in Gaza City. Current reports indicate a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, particularly in the Zeitoun district, where heavy air strikes have resulted in mass displacement and significant casualties. Official reports claim over 60,000 deaths since the beginning of the conflict, but these figures are contested by Israeli authorities, who maintain that their military operations target terrorist threats rather than civilians.
