Gaza (Web News)
In the latest brutal bombardment by Israeli forces in Gaza, 36 Palestinians have been martyred and many others injured. The highest number of deaths has been reported from northern Gaza. Among the martyrs are 9 people who were waiting for food aid.
The famine situation in Gaza is worsening day by day. Four more Palestinians have died from hunger, bringing the number of those martyred due to starvation to 201. Since early this morning, the Israeli forces have carried out dozens of airstrikes, adding new scenes of massacre against innocent civilians, and increasing the suffering of hundreds of thousands of already displaced Palestinians who are facing severe famine and hunger.
In various areas of Gaza, Israeli gunfire and shelling killed several Palestinians. In the western area of Khan Yunis, a woman was martyred and a man injured in a bombing near the Sharia Court residential apartment. In northern Rafah, Israeli forces opened fire on a U.S. aid distribution center, killing two civilians, including a woman. Around the former Asdaa Prison in northwest Khan Yunis (currently being used as a refugee shelter), Israeli artillery carried out shelling.
In southern Wadi Gaza, two Palestinians were martyred and several injured in an attack on a gathering of citizens waiting for aid along Salah al-Din Street. In the Al-Bureij camp, a young man was injured by gunfire in the eastern part of Abu Helu School. In the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis, Israeli forces destroyed two schools, Taiba and Al-Awdah.
According to Al-Awda Hospital, in the past 24 hours, 5 martyrs and 33 injured — including a woman — were brought in from central and southern Gaza. In the eastern part of Al-Da’wah neighborhood in Al-Nuseirat, one civilian was injured by Israeli “quad-copter” fire. In eastern Gaza City, airstrikes and artillery bombardment targeted the southeastern Al-Zaytoun neighborhood. In northern Khan Yunis, residential buildings were demolished with explosions while airstrikes were also carried out near Street 5.
According to the Ministry of Health, Israel’s brutal war has so far killed 61,330 Palestinians and injured 152,359, with over 10,000 civilians missing. Famine and hunger have claimed dozens of lives, and more than 2 million Palestinians are forced to live between displacement and total destruction.
Since withdrawing from the ceasefire on March 18, 2025, Israeli forces have martyred 9,824 Palestinians and injured 40,318. Since May 27, 2025 — when aid distribution centers were turned into “killing grounds” — 1,772 civilians have been martyred, more than 12,249 injured, and 45 remain missing. These atrocities were carried out through a controversial Israeli-American body, “MSS Gaza al-Insani,” which has been rejected by the United Nations.
So far, hunger and malnutrition have killed 201 Palestinians, including 98 children. The Israeli occupation forces have martyred 1,590 medical workers, 115 civil defense personnel, 220 journalists, and 754 aid workers. In this war, more than 15,000 massacres have been recorded, over 14,000 Palestinian families have been displaced, and nearly 2,500 families have been completely wiped out.
Eighty-eight percent of Gaza’s buildings have been reduced to rubble, financial losses have exceeded $62 billion, and Israel has occupied 77% of Gaza’s land. A total of 149 educational institutions have been completely destroyed and 369 partially damaged, 828 mosques have been completely demolished and 167 partially damaged, while 19 cemeteries have also been targeted.
