> This article has been updated to include information about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza suffering from severe malnutrition. After publication of the article, The Times learned from his doctor that Mohammed also had pre-existing health problems.
So a child starving to death also had "pre-existing health problems". What are they? Do they explain why he's severely malnourished?
