Why it matters:
The escalation of Israel's violence in Gaza has led to a humanitarian crisis, with thousands of lives lost and many more affected. The rising death toll highlights the urgent need for international attention and intervention.
The big picture:
Since the onset of the new Israeli attacks on Gaza on October 7, 2023, the cumulative casualties have reached 59,733 dead and 144,477 injured. The situation remains dire, with many victims trapped under rubble or stranded in the streets, unable to receive medical assistance.
What it's saying:
The death toll in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn has gone up to 63 people, medical sources announced. It includes at least six people killed in an Israeli drone strike on a tent camp in al-Mawasi and 10 killed by Israeli fire near an aid distribution point in northern Gaza.
The Health Ministry in Gaza says hospitals have recorded five more fatalities in 24 hours due to starvation caused by the Israeli blockade of the enclave, bringing the total death toll from hunger to 127 since the war began, including 85 children.
