He said that the Palestinians need life-saving supplies, including anesthesia, respiratory, and cancer medications and suppliers urgently needed for mothers and their babies.

The bombings and massive destruction are also leading to unprecedented levels of famine and diseases, and more deaths among the Palestinians, especially children, due to hunger and the lack of medical supplies.

On Monday Day 157 of the Israeli genocide of the Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells killed dozens of Palestinians and injured hundreds, in several parts of the devastated and besieged Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medical sources confirmed the death of three children, including two infants, due to hunger and malnutrition in the devastated Gaza Strip, bringing the number of Palestinians who died from malnutrition to 28, including 21 children.
On the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, the infant girl Walaa Sammour and the infant girl Walaa Ziyada were martyred in Kamal Al-Adwan Hospital.

Palestinian journalist working for Al-Jazeera, Anas Sharif, said on X: “On the first day of the holy month of Ramadan, the infant girl Walaa Sammour and the infant girl Walaa Ziyada were martyred in Kamal Al-Adwan Hospital. As a result of malnutrition and lack of medicine in the northern Gaza Strip.”
The Health Ministry stated that the death toll due to famine and diseases is higher, especially since many Palestinians, mainly in northern Gaza, are facing dire conditions and are almost completely cut off from the already limited humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border terminal.
In a statement, Defense For Children International – Palestine Branch, said the Israel starvation of Gaza, is a political and deliberate choice made by Israel and backed by the Biden Administration in the United States.

“Israeli forces fired several artillery shells at displaced families in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, designated by Israel as a safe evacuation zone,” PCHR said, “As a result, 14 civilians from the displaced families were killed, including four children and three women, while eight others were injured. Among the casualties were 10 civilians from Yasser Abdul-Ghafour’s family.”
“Since October 7, many houses belonging to colleague Yasser’s family had been repeatedly bombed in Khan Younis, killing tens of them while many are still trapped under the rubble of their destroyed houses,” PCHR added, “Among the victims were Yasser’s sisters, brothers and uncles who were killed with their sons and daughters. Those who survived fled from Khan Younis to seek refuge in the al-Mawasi area, where they were bombed again.”
