The Health Ministry in Gaza has reported that 10 more Palestinians have died from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including two children, bringing the total number of hunger-related fatalities to 313. Of those, 119 were children. The dire situation has worsened amid ongoing conflict, with aid access severely restricted.
Israeli forces have killed 51 Palestinians since the early hours of Wednesday, including 12 individuals who were waiting for aid deliveries. As Israel’s military offensive continues, its forces have intensified efforts to occupy Gaza City. Al Jazeera’s team on the ground has reported widespread destruction, with tanks and warplanes leveling entire blocks.
Since the start of the conflict, Israel’s actions in Gaza have resulted in at least 62,895 deaths and 158,927 injuries. The current escalation is part of a broader conflict that began with Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023, which left 1,139 Israelis dead and over 200 taken captive.
