US-Israeli Gaza genocide 

The Israeli regime presses ahead with its genocidal war in Gaza, killing and injuring more innocent civilians, mostly women and children. Gaza City has been the main target of the regime’s latest strikes. In the al-Shati refugee camp, Israeli warplanes bombed a tent sheltering displaced persons near a school, killing at least five civilians and injuring nearly a dozen others. In the al-Tuffah neighborhood, a mother and her child were killed in a strike on a group of civilians. Another attack north of the city also caused multiple casualties. According to medical sources, 22 civilians looking for food aid were killed on Wednesday, bringing the total toll among aid seekers to more than two-thousand. Famine and malnutrition also claimed the lives of three Palestinians on Wednesday, raising the toll from Israel’s starvation policy to nearly 270, including 112 children. The total death from the Israeli genocide now exceeds 62,100, with nearly 156,760 others injured. 

Gaza starvation crisis 

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees has released new data from its clinics in Gaza, revealing a dramatic rise in malnutrition rates among children. UNRWA warned that child malnutrition has tripled across the Gaza Strip in less than six months. The agency said the data was obtained after screening nearly 100,000 children under the age of five since March. It added that in Gaza City alone, nearly one in three children is now malnourished, which is six times higher than before the ceasefire collapsed. UNRWA said the crisis in Gaza is not a natural disaster, but is a man-made, preventable starvation, exacerbated by Israel’s ongoing blockade of humanitarian supplies. The agency noted that its warehouses in Egypt and Jordan contain enough aid to fill six-thousand trucks, including three months worth of food, but Israeli restrictions are preventing aid from reaching the territory. UNRWA once again demanded Israel allow life-saving aid to reach Gaza's over two million people to prevent the deaths of more children.

Israel Gaza takeover plan 

Hamas has strongly condemned the Israeli military's approval of a plan to occupy Gaza City. The movement called the operation a further escalation of the regime's genocidal war in Gaza that has been ongoing for over 22 months. Hamas said the so-called Gideon's Chariots 2 operation is also clear evidence of Tel Aviv’s disregard for Gaza ceasefire efforts. It added that the terrorist Israeli regime insists on continuing its brutal war against innocent civilians even after the movement has approved the latest peace proposal presented by mediators. Hamas said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s disregard for the truce proposal proves that he is the real obstacle to any agreement, and does not care about the lives of Israeli captives in Gaza. The movement stressed that Israel’s new operation will fail just as its previous operations failed, and the regime will not achieve its objectives. Hamas said Israel and the US administration will be fully responsible for the consequences of this criminal operation, which seeks to destroy what remains of life in Gaza.
