On the 690th day of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, residents of the besieged, starved, and devastated Gaza Strip continue to endure a deepening famine amid relentless Israeli bombardment, killing 75 in the last 24 hours, 17 of whom were killed while trying to obtain aid at the US corporate-run ‘aid’ sites, which are essentially gladiator-style arenas where Palestinians are forced to fight each other for small amounts of food, as the population continues to starve with no access to food aid.
Medical sources at the Shifa hospital in Gaza has reported that a young Palestinian man, Hamada Warsh Agha, has died from hunger.
Reporter Shameen Suleman of MENA Uncensored reported Tuesday on Israel’s announced plan to evacuate Gaza City, flatten the city, and force the entire population into a concentration camp in what is left of the city of Rafah in southern Gaza:
The Plan:
▪️ Before evacuating Gaza City, Israeli war criminals are preparing a massive detention camp in the Mirage desert, west of Rafah.
▪️ Surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by mercenaries, Bedouins, and Druze, it is designed to hold Gaza’s population during the expulsion.
▪️ Once Gaza City is emptied, central towns and refugee camps will be cleared almost simultaneously, forcing everyone into the same desert camp.
▪️ The process is expected to last 2–4 years. During this time, Palestinians will be confined to the camp with only limited canned food, in a system of managed starvation.
The Aim:
▪️ To depopulate Gaza through forced displacement, slow attrition, and engineered famine.
▪️ To create a controlled “holding pen” for 2 million people, outside the world’s view, under conditions designed to break them.

According to a report today in the Israeli paper Ha’aretz, despite the vast majority of Israeli military leadership opposing a ground invasion of Gaza City, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “forging ahead with his plan to invade Gaza City and expand the war because ‘he will do whatever he can to stay in power'”. This is from a report by Haaretz senior security analyst Amos Harel.
Harel continued that Israeli military leadership, “led by chief of staff Eyal Zamir, is attempting to convince Netanyahu for a more limited siege on Gaza City. Still, the message from Netanyahu has been that ‘he is calling the shots, and the army’s job is to follow orders and prepare to invade Gaza City’, despite the danger that would pose to Israeli hostages being held in the area. Harel said that Donald Trump is the only one who could stop Netanyahu from a full-scale invasion at this point, but Trump appears to have no intention to stop Netanyahu.
Defense Minister Israel Katz, in July, when he announced the plan to displace the vast majority of Gazans into the Rafah concentration camp, established a “voluntary migration authority,” which (according to Ha’aretz) is functioning and searching for countries willing to accept masses of Palestinian emigrants (so far with almost no success).
An Israeli occupation soldier documents Israeli tanks advancing into Gaza City after relentless airstrikes and explosive-laden robots flattened populated areas:
There are still hundreds of thousands of people living in Gaza City, many of whom have stated that they intend to remain where they are, even if Israeli forces kill them there, rather than be displaced to a concentration camp.
ONGOING FAMINE SINCE MARCH 2, OFFICIALLY DECLARED STAGE 5 FAMINE THIS WEEK:
Since March 2, Israel has imposed a total closure on all border crossings into Gaza, effectively blocking humanitarian aid and plunging the territory into famine conditions.
Despite the buildup of relief trucks at the border, only extremely limited quantities are allowed in—insufficient to meet even the most basic needs of the starving population.
Israel is blocking 430 essential food items from entering Gaza, including eggs, meat, poultry, fish, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and supplements vital for children, pregnant women, and the sick.
The limited food allowed in lacks real nutritional value, leaving the population malnourished and vulnerable to disease. Starvation here is not accidental; it is a deliberate, calculated policy.
Hospitals across Gaza are facing a critical and life-threatening shortage of blood units and their essential components. The severity of injuries arriving at medical facilities—many of which are complex and life-threatening—requires an immediate increase in blood supplies to sustain emergency care and save lives.
Efforts to replenish blood stocks, including donation campaigns, have sharply declined due to widespread famine and acute malnutrition, further compounding the crisis.
The United Nations has confirmed that “five days after officially declaring famine in Gaza, conditions have not improved—in fact, they continue to deteriorate.”
Rather than showing signs of stabilization, the humanitarian situation in Gaza has worsened sharply. Starvation is sweeping through displaced communities, while medical facilities report a surge in deaths directly linked to severe malnutrition.
Although famine has been formally recognized by international bodies, Israel’s continued siege and military assaults have obstructed aid convoys, bombed food distribution centers, and crippled relief operations.
In the absence of decisive global intervention, Gaza’s civilians remain entrapped in a deliberately engineered catastrophe—where hunger is not the result of natural scarcity, but the outcome of systematic deprivation.
Despite global recognition of an acute humanitarian emergency, Israel’s blockade and ongoing military aggression continue to prevent the delivery of life-saving aid.
The situation on the ground is rapidly deteriorating, with starvation claiming lives daily and malnutrition spreading among children and displaced families.
International appeals for urgent intervention have yet to yield tangible relief, as Gaza remains under siege, deprived of food, medicine, and basic survival necessities.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini described the world’s indifference and inaction toward the unfolding catastrophe in Gaza as “shocking.”
In a statement published today on X, Lazzarini condemned the killing of more journalists in Gaza, calling it “the silencing of the last remaining voices reporting the quiet death of children amid famine.”
He urged an immediate end to the man-made famine by opening access without restrictions and called for the protection of journalists, humanitarian workers, and medical personnel. “The time for political will is now,” he emphasized. “Not tomorrow, now.”
On the ground, medical sources in Gaza reported that over 92 Palestinians were killed since dawn on Monday, including six journalists.
The sources added that Israeli strikes across the coastal enclave killed more than twenty Palestinians and injured dozens more in the early hours of Tuesday.

Over the past 24 hours, 46 civilians were killed in various parts of Khan Younis, including six journalists.
Casualty Statistics
The daily statistical report on casualties from Israel’s assault on Gaza recorded:
58 Palestinians killed and 308 injured in the past 24 hours, among them 28 were killed and 184 injured while seeking humanitarian aid, raising the total number of aid-related fatalities to 2,123 and injuries to over 15,615.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported 11 deaths in a single day due to famine and malnutrition, including two children, bringing the total to 300 deaths, including 117 children, since October 7, 2023.
Israel continues to target residential neighborhoods and aid distribution points, killing dozens more since dawn.
Israel estimates that approximately 50 Israeli captives remain in Gaza, including 20 believed to be alive, according to Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Israeli prisons currently hold over 10,800 Palestinian detainees, many of whom are subjected to systematic torture, starvation, and medical neglect.
According to both Palestinian and Israeli human rights reports, these conditions have led to the deaths of numerous detainees.
The disparity underscores a broader pattern of institutional abuse and punitive detention policies that violate international legal standards and further entrench the crisis.
Since Israel violated the mediated ceasefire agreement on March 18, 2025, its military has killed at least 10,900 Palestinians and injured more than 46,218.
Israel has now killed at least 62,744 Palestinians and injured more than 158,259, most of them children, women, and the elderly, since October 7, 2023. Thousands more remain missing, largely buried under the rubble of bombed homes and in areas inaccessible to medical and rescue teams.
