Sources in Gaza hospitals said that 98 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes since dawn on Saturday. The Gaza Emergency and Ambulance Service documented the deaths of 34 aid recipients and the injury of 180 others by Israeli army fire near an aid distribution center north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
A medical source at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City reported that three Palestinians were killed and others were injured, one of whom was in critical condition, in an Israeli attack that targeted a house near Salah al-Din Mosque in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood in southern Gaza City.
An Al Jazeera correspondent reported that several Palestinians were injured by Israeli drone fire near the General Security junction west of Gaza City. The Israeli military announced that it had bombed more than 250 "targets" across the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours.
The correspondent also reported that approximately 20 Palestinians were missing in an Israeli airstrike on two homes in Jabalia al-Nazla, north of the Gaza Strip.
According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 57,882, with 138,095 injured. It noted that the death toll from aid operations has risen to 805 since May 27, with more than 5,252 injured.
The Israeli occupation army fires daily at starving people lined up near distribution centers, leaving them between starvation and being shot, according to the government media office in Gaza.
The risk of famine is growing
On the humanitarian front, the Government Information Office in Gaza stated that the humanitarian situation in the Strip has reached catastrophic levels after more than 100 days of a complete closure of the Strip's crossings.
The office revealed that the risk of famine is increasing and that hundreds of thousands of people, including 650,000 children, are at risk of death. It added that the number of children killed due to malnutrition has reached 67.
He explained that approximately 1.25 million people in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic hunger, and the office revealed that 96% of the Strip's population suffers from severe levels of food insecurity.
In the same context, United Nations organizations announced that the people of Gaza are facing widespread food insecurity and are on the brink of famine.
In a statement issued today, these organizations warned that "the fuel shortage in Gaza has reached critical levels," and that UN agencies may be forced to halt their operations in Gaza due to the fuel shortage.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned of the serious health consequences resulting from severe overcrowding in shelters, especially in light of the high temperatures during the summer.
UNRWA added that the ongoing blockade on the Gaza Strip deprives children of the most basic hygiene requirements, due to the lack of hygiene supplies and a scarcity of clean water. UNRWA also stressed the need to lift the blockade and allow the immediate resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries.
