Gaza death toll rises
While the Israeli military intensifies its air attacks on Iran, it has continued killing Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In its latest daily update released just now, the Health Ministry in Gaza said the bodies of at least 39 people killed have been brought to hospitals over the past 24-hour reporting period.
Additionally, at least 317 people were wounded in Israeli attacks over the same time. The figures bring the number of people killed in the territory since the start of Israel’s 20-month war to 55,998, with at least 131,559 wounded.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 5,685 Palestinians and injured 19,518 since Israel broke a ceasefire with Hamas in March.
At least 30 killed in Gaza as more starving Palestinians gunned down
As the day progresses the death toll keeps increasing by the hour. One attack killed five family members in the northwestern part of Gaza City with 13 critically injured in al-Shifa Hospital.
The hospital is unable to accommodate the large number of wounded people who keep streaming in.
Israel is engaged with missile fire in Iran while at the same time it continues the killing of Palestinians across the Gaza Strip with deadly air strikes on tents or residential homes.
Hungry crowds gather a food distribution centres in Rafah or the Netzarim Corridor. So far, 13 aid-seekers have been shot dead today. They are among 30 people killed by Israel’s military since the early hours.
Netzarim was built by Israeli forces on what used to be a vibrant Palestinian neighbourhood with vast agricultural land. It is now a field of rubble for the Israeli “security corridor”.
