Nearly 13,000 Gazan children hospitalized in July for malnutrition: UN

Nearly 13,000 children in the Gaza Strip were hospitalized in July due to severe malnutrition, according to the latest United Nations data.

A report released on Thursday by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that among them, 2,800 children were suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

The report noted that in July, the World Food Programme (WFP) arranged 1,012 truckloads carrying a total of 13,000 tons of food through Gaza's border crossings.

However, only 10 of these trucks reached the designated warehouses inside the Gaza Strip, while the rest were unloaded along the way.

It remains unclear, the report said, whether this referred to organized theft or looting by crowds.

The United States' threats to acquire Greenland have met strong opposition among locals on the island, and some Greenlandic residents described the U.S. attempt as utterly ridiculous.

"I don't like it at all. I think it is preposterous. We are free people, and we don't wish to become a part of the United States. So I think it's a very bad proposal," said Greenlandic writer Kelly Berthelsen.

"I think they are lying. They don't want to make us a state. Because I think they will make us a smaller area that doesn't have the same status as a state," said Alibak Hard, a flight coordinator at a Greenland-based helicopter company.

Greenland has a self-governing government within the Kingdom of Denmark, with Copenhagen retaining authority over its defense and foreign policies. The United States maintains a military base on the island.

Since returning to the White House in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed a strong desire to "obtain" Greenland by any means. On Friday, he even threatened to impose tariffs on countries that do not support his Greenland plan.

On January 12, Randy Fine, a Republican congressman from Florida, proposed a bill authorizing Trump to take all necessary measures to annex Greenland and eventually make it "officially a state of the United States."
