The Israeli occupation continues its aggression and genocidal war on Gaza and commits more massacres against civilians and displaced people throughout the Strip for the 152nd day in a row, coinciding with a war of starvation, especially in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip.

In the context of Israeli violations and attacks against the Palestinian media, the government media office in the Gaza Strip announced, yesterday evening, the martyrdom of journalist and Al-Aqsa Channel broadcaster, Muhammad Salama, due to the occupation’s bombing of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
The office announced that the number of journalist martyrs had risen to 133 martyrs since the start of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7th.
In addition, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhry, said, “Israel is bombing humanitarian convoys in Gaza despite knowing their routes.”
Fakhri stressed that “Israel does not want any aid to reach the needy in Gaza, and is waging a clear war of starvation.”
Fakhri called for imposing sanctions on the occupying entity for ignoring the decisions of the International Court of Justice, and asked, “Why does Washington drop aid by air despite the chaos it causes?!”
On the humanitarian level, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned of an imminent deterioration and increase in the number of child deaths linked to malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, explaining that death rates in the north of the Strip are three times higher than those recorded in the south.
In turn, UNICEF spokesman, James Elder, said in a press conference at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, that the number of child deaths as a result of malnutrition will continue to rise if the worsening nutrition crisis in the Gaza Strip is not resolved.
Elder explained that malnutrition rates among children under the age of five in the north are three times higher than those in Rafah in the south.
In addition to hunger, Elder said there is an increasing risk of infectious diseases, as 9 out of every 10 children under the age of five (about 220,000 children) have become ill over the past weeks.
