Infant dies of malnutrition in Gaza’s Khan Younis

Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city reports that an infant has died due to malnutrition and inadequate medical treatment. They are among dozens of children to die of malnutrition this year in Gaza, as Israel severely restricts food and medical aid from entering.

Last week, the enclave’s Health Ministry reported that 440 people, including 147 children, had died of starvation or malnutrition during the war.


Gaza death toll rises

At least 77 Palestinians, including six aid seekers, have been killed and 379 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. Two bodies have also been recovered from the rubble of the previous Israeli attacks, the ministry added.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 66,005 Palestinians and injured 168,162 since October 7, 2023, the ministry said.

Remotely detonated explosives target residential blocks in Gaza City

The Israel military is using remotely detonated explosive vehicles to target residential areas, attacking entire blocks and neighbourhoods.

It started in the northern part of the Strip – Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon. Now, we’re seeing it in Gaza City, especially Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood. That’s why most Palestinians have been forced to evacuate the area.

The destruction [from these remotely detonated explosive devices] is huge. When one explodes in Gaza City, it can be heard all the way in az-Zawayda or Deir el-Balah. In addition, Palestinians have told us that Israeli forces are using artillery shelling, air raids and quadcopters.

What is being destroyed now is infrastructure, residences, hospitals and public schools – this is what Israel is actually targeting.
