Omar Harb died on Thursday after his health had deteriorated in recent weeks, local media reported.

The total number of famine-related deaths in Gaza has risen to 370, with the majority of victims comprised of children, women and the elderly.

According to an interview with Al Jazeera published three weeks before his death, the 60-year-old academic had endured hardship and poor physical health as a result of the genocide.

Harb also lost at least 26 members of his family, including his wife, several children and grandchildren. Five of his family's homes had been destroyed by Israeli attacks.
