On Friday, August 15, day 679 of Israel’s ongoing slaughter of the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and wholesale destruction of all infrastructure and homes in the Strip, Israeli forces continued their attack on civilians in north, south and central Gaza.
The death toll from the Israeli occupation forces’ genocidal war and aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to 61,827 killed and 155,275 wounded since October 7, 2023.
Medical sources reported on Friday that the death toll includes 10,300 killed and 43,234 injuries since March 18, when the Israeli occupation resumed its aggression on the Gaza Strip following Israel’s violation of the ceasefire agreement made in late January.
Over the past 24 hours, 51 killed, including two who were recovered, and 369 injured people arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals as a result of the ongoing Israeli massacres and attacks . Ambulance and civil defense crews are finding it difficult to reach the victims, as a large number of them are still under the rubble and debris, and in the streets.
The number of victims who were shot by US mercenaries and Israeli mercenary snipers while seeking food for their starving families at the US corporate run GHF ‘aid’ sites/gladiator arenas over the past 24 hours reached 17 killed and 250 injured, bringing the total number of livelihood victims who arrived at hospitals to 1,898, and more than 14,113 injured.
Statement issued by the Government Media Office:
⭕️Only 136 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and Thursday, looted under the occupation’s policy of engineering starvation and genocide
⭕️On Wednesday and Thursday, only 136 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip out of 1,200 expected. Most of these trucks were looted and seized amidst a deliberately created state of insecurity engineered by the Israeli occupation as part of its “starvation and chaos engineering” policy aimed at breaking the resilience of our Palestinian people.
⭕️The total number of aid trucks that entered the Gaza Strip over the past (19 days) amounted to just 1,671 out of the required 11,400 trucks — meaning that what has entered is less than 15% of actual needs.
