At least 1,239 aid-seekers killed in Gaza since since start of 2025

Roya News4 days ago
The death toll from aid-related incidents in Gaza continues to rise, as hospitals reported 60 new fatalities and over 195 injuries in the past 24 hours alone.
This brings the total number of aid seekers killed while trying to access humanitarian assistance to at least 1,239, with more than 8,152 injured, according to the Gaza health ministry. These figures reflect only those admitted to hospitals.
Meanwhile, Gaza's hospitals have recorded seven additional deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, raising the total number of starvation-related fatalities to 154, including 89 children.
Since the start of the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, 'Israel' has faced widespread accusations of deliberately using starvation as a weapon. On March 2, "Israeli" authorities sealed all crossings to humanitarian, medical, and relief aid, deepening a famine that international officials have described as 'catastrophic.'
While limited aid convoys were allowed into Gaza starting Sunday, the Government Media Office said the amounts remain critically low and are often looted amid widespread lawlessness. The enclave requires at least 500 trucks of aid per day to meet minimum survival needs.
On Monday evening, the media office reported that just 87 aid trucks entered Gaza, most of which were looted due to the chaos that 'Israel' is accused of deliberately creating.
Despite mounting international pressure, aid access remains sporadic and insufficient, pushing Gaza further into one of the worst hunger crises in recent history.

Abu Obaida says Hamas ready to deliver aid to 'Israeli' captives with conditions

Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas' military wing Al-Qassam Brigades, said Sunday the Palestinian group is ready to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver food and medicine to 'Israeli' captives in Gaza. In a statement by Abu Obaida on his Telegram channel, he said Hamas would agree to the deliveries on two conditions: 'The natural and permanent opening of humanitarian corridors to allow food and medicine to reach all people in Gaza, and a halt to all occupation air sorties during the times aid packages are delivered to the prisoners.' Abu Obaida added that the Al-Qassam Brigades are not intentionally starving the prisoners. The captives "eat what our mujahideen and all our people eat, and they will not get a special privilege in light of the crime of starvation and siege,' he said. Earlier today, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Sunday to deliver food and medical assistance to 'Israeli' captives still held in Gaza, his office said in a statement. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the head of the Red Cross delegation in our region, Julien Lerisson, and requested his involvement in providing food to our hostages and providing them with immediate medical treatment,' the statement read. The request came days after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) released videos of two 'Israeli' captives held in Gaza appearing emaciated.
