The Israeli military launched a more brutal round of airstrikes, claiming the lives of at least 80 Palestinians, including 22 children.
According to international media 50 Palestinians, including 22 children and 15 women, were martyred after late-night explosions were carried out on multiple homes in the northern Jabalia neighborhood of Gaza.
Nine additional bodies, seven of them children, were taken to Jabalia Hospital following the Israeli bombings.
According to international media reports, Israel fired missiles after the Israeli army issued an evacuation warning to inhabitants of Jabalia and the adjacent areas on Tuesday.
According to the Israeli military, it targeted Palestinian combatants and Hamas in northern Gaza. Nine bunker-buster bombs were dropped by the Israeli army earlier Tuesday on the grounds of the European Hospital in Khan Younis.
Several locations in the ground were ruptured by the explosions. This Israeli attack resulted in the martyrdom of 28 Palestinians and the injuries of 70 others. It is important to note that since October 2023, Israeli attacks in Gaza have resulted in the martyrdom of around 60,000 Palestinians, according to representatives of the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Earlier the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that at least 57 children in Gaza have perished from starvation since March 2.
WHO announced that the deaths coincide with a growing assistance embargo that has made it extremely difficult for the populace to obtain food and medical supplies.
WHO’s representative for the West Bank and Gaza, Richard Peeperkorn, described the situation as “one of the world’s worst hunger crises” during a UN briefing in Geneva. He claimed that because of the 19 months of conflict, displacement, and restricted access to supplies, the whole population of Gaza, which is estimated to be 2.1 million people, is now at serious risk of starvation.
According to data from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), over 1.95 million people, or 93% of Gaza’s population, are suffering from crisis-level hunger.
