Gaza death toll rises
At least 123 Palestinians, including 21 aid seekers, have been killed and 437 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
In the same period, at least eight people, including three children, have starved to death in the territory, bringing the total count of hunger-related deaths to 235, including 106 children, the ministry said.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 61,722 Palestinians and injured 154,525 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.
The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27, when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the US-based GHF, has reached 1,859, with more than 13,594 injured, the statement said.
Shootings, stampedes at northern Gaza’s Zikim crossing
Aid distribution centres are still death traps. But the vast majority of people here do not have any other option but to show up at them and try to get their hands on whatever is available for their hungry families.
One area that has become deadly for Palestinians is the Zikim crossing in the north. Trucks are allowed from this area, but the number of trucks is very minimal compared with the large crowds, demand created by months of devastation and destruction. More people are dying there, either from deliberate Israeli military fire or from the stampede.
Meanwhile, whatever is available in the market is beyond anyone’s financial capacity.
