Gaza’s death toll rises

Israeli attacks have killed 68 people and injured 326 in the latest 24-hour reporting period, Gaza’s Health Ministry says, adding that another body killed in an earlier attack has also been recovered.

Twenty-nine of the victims were killed while seeking aid, it said in a statement.

The casualties bring the total death toll in Gaza during the war to 61,499, with 153,575 wounded, according to the ministry.


Israeli attack kills 6 aid seekers in Rafah

Israeli forces have fired at and killed at least six Palestinians seeking aid near distribution centres in the Rafah area, our colleagues on the ground cite Nasser Hospital as saying.

As we’ve reported, Israeli forces have regularly fired shots at crowds seeking aid at distribution sites since the US- and Israeli-backed GHF took over aid distribution in late May. The attacks have killed more than 1,800 people.



Israel’s refusal to allow rescue missions has killed 2,500 people since March: Civil Defence

Gaza’s Civil Defence agency reports that the Israeli military is routinely declining the majority of coordination requests submitted by the rescue force through international and humanitarian organisations since Israel violated the last ceasefire in March.

It said the military responded to only 10 percent of the total coordination requests that were sent through humanitarian groups.

“We affirm that this Israeli refusal to coordinate field requests for humanitarian response has caused the martyrdom of more than 2,500 citizens who were injured in the targeted areas,” the Civil Defence said in a statement, calling on the international community to intervene.
