Day 675 of the ongoing genocide witnessed relentless Israeli bombardment across the devastated, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip, killing at least 52 Palestinians over the past 24 hours, including 26 civilians who were shot to death by Israeli snipers while seeking humanitarian aid in the ‘Hunger Games’ style arenas of the US corporation GHF.
Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis announced on Monday evening the death of another child, Mohammed Zakaria Khader (5 years old) due to malnutrition and famine in the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported earlier today that the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition in the Gaza Strip had risen to 222 starved to death, including 101 children.
It is noteworthy that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen, due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies, as the severe famine overlaps with the genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation since October 7, 2023.
Since March 2, 2025, the occupation authorities have closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip, preventing the entry of most food and medical aid, causing a famine outbreak within the Strip.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warned that malnutrition among children under the age of five doubled between March and June, as a result of the ongoing blockade.
The World Health Organization confirmed that malnutrition rates in Gaza have reached alarming levels, that the deliberate blockade and delays in aid have caused many lives lost, and that nearly one in five children under the age of five in Gaza City suffers from severe malnutrition.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched a genocidal campaign against the entire population of 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of 61,499 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 153,575 others, in a preliminary toll, as a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews are unable to reach them.
In a heartfelt interview, journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed in an Israeli strike yesterday, reflects on the immense personal challenges he has faced while reporting from Gaza.
He shares his struggles with constant Israeli threats to his safety, separation from his family, and the emotional toll of witnessing genocide’s devastation.
Yet, despite these immense challenges, Anas stayed dedicated to his work, determined to carry the stories of the victims and to be the voice representing the entire Gaza Strip.
A family member of Anas al-Sharif told IMEMC, “Israel may have killed Anas, but now there will be many more of him, dozens and dozens will speak up to tell the truth about what is happening to us. Because they can’t kill the truth.”
While international journalists are barred from visiting the Gaza Strip, and the world depends on Palestinian journalists like Anas al-Sharif to share the view from under the bombs, a group of 45 U.S. journalists is currently in Israeli hosted by Israeli President and chief hasbarist Isaac Herzog as part of a large-scale media tour.
Today, the delegation is set to visit the Gaza crossing points from Israeli side as part of a coordinated pro-Israel media campaign.
The entire trip is being funded by the Israeli occupation’s foreign ministry, the group is staying at Jerusalem’s King David Hotel.
Notably, not a single international journalist has been allowed to enter Gaza since the start of the war, as Israel continues to block access and prevent independent coverage of the ongoing genocide, and has killed over 200 journalists in targeted assassinations over the past 22 months.
