NEW: A UNICEF coordinated SMART survey conducted between May 31 and June 15 2026 found acute malnutrition in Gaza’s children under 5 at around 0.5%, ranging from 0.2% to 0.8% across governorates.

The rate is below Gaza’s prewar baseline of 0.8%, far below the WHO emergency threshold of 5%, and places Gaza in IPC Acute Malnutrition Phase 1 (Acceptable). By comparison, reported rates are around 3% in Egypt, 0.6% to 2.4% in Jordan, 5%+ in Syria, and 4% to 6% in Bulgaria. Image: Israel MFA
