Three dozen Palestinians killed in new Israeli massacre in Gaza
Nearly three dozen Palestinians, including children, have been killed in Israeli overnight attacks on the Gaza Strip, as the occupying regime continues its genocidal war in the besieged territory.
Medical sources said at least 23 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting multiple areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Wednesday.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, Israeli airstrikes have left 35 people dead and 109 others injured in the past 24 hours alone.
The death toll from Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged territory has now exceeded 52,400, with more than 118,014 others wounded since the genocidal war began in October 2023.
UN warns of deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza
The World Food Programme (WFP) issued a stark warning over the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, amid continued Israeli bombardment and a blockade that has left civilians facing widespread hunger.
“The situation is very difficult in the Gaza Strip and our stocks are running out,” a WFP spokeswoman said, adding, “We may see deaths from malnutrition as the crossings remain closed.”
The spokeswoman said round 700,000 people had been receiving meals each day, but the UN agency’s trucks filled with aid remained stuck at the border, unable to enter due to the continued Israeli closure of crossings.
The Israeli military renewed its airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing hundreds of people, injuring many others, and shattering the ceasefire agreement with the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and the deal on the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian abductees.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has banned aid deliveries into Gaza since March, in a move he said was meant to pressure Hamas into accepting an extension of the first stage of the ceasefire deal, which Israel broke.
Every day, thousands of residents in Gaza, including numerous children, flock to community kitchens in search of food to feed their families.
The WFP announced on Friday that it has dispatched its final remaining supplies of food to various kitchens, as supplies are running low.
