On Sunday, day 672 of Israel’s genocidal campaign aimed at depopulating and destroying the entire Gaza Strip, Israeli forces continued their bombardment and starvation of the entire population of 2.3 million Palestinians, including bombing a media tent to assassinate the most prominent journalists still reporting from Gaza. Over 200 journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since 2023 in a blatant and explicitly stated assassination campaign to silence the voices of the last people alive still able to report from the ground on the genocide that is ongoing in Gaza.
Sources in Gaza hospitals announced that more than 52 citizens were killed by Israeli army fire in various areas of the Strip since dawn today. They noted that among those killed today were 26 people waiting for aid in the central and southern Gaza Strip.
At the same time, the forced starvation of the Palestinian population continues to result in more deaths.
Hospitals in the Gaza Strip recorded five new deaths, including two children, over the past 24 hours, due to starvation and malnutrition.
This brings the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 217, including 100 children.
Exhausted, tired, wandering in every direction in search of a morsel of food to satisfy their hunger…Palestinians in Gaza are starving, exhausted by the blockade, to the point where their lives have become a daily struggle for survival.
