710 Palestinians killed , 900 injured since Israel renewed bombing Gaza - War on Gaza
At least 710 Palestinians have been killed and over 900 injured in Gaza since Israel resumed its genocidal war on Gaza on Tuesday, spokesperson for the Health Ministry in Gaza Khalil al-Daqran said on Thursday.
Al-Daqran highlighted that many of the injured have died as a result of being unable to receive urgent medical care due to a severe shortage of essential medical supplies and equipment, as reported by Al Jazeera.
He also stated that 70% of the casualties are women and children, with most of them suffering from severe injuries.
Israel bombarded Gaza and pressed its ground operations on Thursday.
The renewed offensive shattered a relative calm that had pervaded since truce took hold mid-January.
Inhumane ordeals
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) decried on Thursday "an endless unleashing of the most inhumane ordeals" on the people of Gaza after Israel renewed deadly air stikes and ground operations in the territory.
"Israeli Forces bombardment continues from air & sea for the third day," Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X. "Under our daily watch, people in Gaza are again & again going through their worst nightmare."

Hospitals Face Shutdown Within 48 Hours Due to Fuel Shortages, Says Gaza's Health Min.
Ahmed Emam Hospitals in the Gaza Strip are on the verge of a complete shutdown within the next 48 hours due to a critical fuel shortage, the Palestinian Ministry of Health warned on Wednesday, raising alarms over the imminent collapse of the healthcare system. Dr. Khalil Al-Daqran, spokesperson for the ministry in Gaza, stated that the few remaining operational hospitals are struggling to function as fuel supplies dwindle. 'We are facing a total breakdown of the health sector,' he said, citing Israeli restrictions on fuel deliveries and aid access. According to Al-Daqran, fuel is not delivered directly to hospitals but is stored by United Nations agencies and then distributed under Israeli supervision. Currently, Israeli forces are reportedly blocking these organizations from reaching fuel storage locations, threatening the continuity of medical services across the territory. Of Gaza's 16 government hospitals, only five remain even partially operational, and just three — Al-Shifa, Al-Aqsa Martyrs, and Nasser hospitals — are still admitting patients. Even so, these facilities are functioning at minimal capacity. 'Al-Shifa is operating at less than 20% of its normal capacity due to the severe shortages of fuel, medications, and essential supplies,' Al-Daqran said. He also noted that Israel has blocked the entry of medical aid and medications for over 90 days, even during declared ceasefires. As a result, more than 80% of Gaza's healthcare infrastructure has collapsed. The pressure on medical staff has reached breaking point. Al-Daqran described a state of 'total exhaustion' among healthcare workers, who have been working nonstop for more than 20 months. Many are receiving only 8% of their salaries and continue to work under extreme hardship. 'Medical teams are operating under life-threatening conditions,' he said. 'Over 1,800 healthcare workers have been killed, and more than 3,000 have been injured since the beginning of the war.' He also claimed that Israeli forces have deliberately targeted specialized doctors and shut down multiple hospitals, causing a significant loss in medical expertise. Many doctors have not left their hospitals in months, choosing to stay with their patients despite limited food, supplies, and even basic meals. 'They left their families behind to keep saving lives,' Al-Daqran said, 'in one of the harshest and most dangerous healthcare environments in the world.' The warning comes amid an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where escalating military operations, prolonged blockade measures, and the breakdown of critical infrastructure have left millions without access to essential services. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

Israeli Army Issues Urgent Evacuation Warning to Northern Gaza Residents Amid Intensifying Offensive
Ahmed Emam The Israeli military released an urgent evacuation order Monday to residents of several northern Gaza neighborhoods, warning of imminent military operations in the area as the war on the besieged strip continues to escalate. In a statement issued on social media by Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee, it warned civilians in Jabalia, Jabalia Camp, the Old Town, and the neighborhoods of Al-Nahda, Al-Rawda, Al-Salam, Al-Noor, Al-Tuffah, Al-Daraj, and Tal Al-Zaatar to evacuate immediately. 'Urgent — Dangerous warning to everyone present in these areas,' Adraee stated. 'The Israeli army is operating with full force in your vicinity to destroy terrorist infrastructure.' He called on civilians to seek refuge in designated shelters in Gaza City, adding, 'For your safety, evacuate immediately. Returning to these areas — now designated combat zones — poses a serious threat to your lives.' The warning comes amid a renewed and intensified Israeli ground and air campaign in the Gaza Strip, with fighting particularly focused in northern areas long seen as Hamas strongholds. The evacuation order has triggered fresh concerns over the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. With tens of thousands already displaced and shelter infrastructure stretched to the limit, international aid organizations have warned that safe zones are increasingly scarce and inaccessible. Since the resumption of the Israeli offensive on March 18, 2025, Gaza's Ministry of Health reports 4,603 people have been killed and 14,186 wounded. The overall death toll since the war began on October 7, 2023, has now reached 54,880, with 126,227 people injured. These figures underscore what the United Nations has repeatedly described as an "unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe" in the enclave, where food, water, and medical supplies remain critically low, and large swaths of the population are living in makeshift shelters or open areas. Calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian access continue to mount internationally, but diplomatic efforts have thus far failed to bring a lasting halt to the conflict. The Israeli military insists its operations are aimed at dismantling what it describes as terrorist infrastructure, while Palestinian officials and human rights groups accuse Israel of collective punishment and indiscriminate attacks on civilians. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

CAIRO – 9 June 2025: The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 54,927 martyrs and 126,615 wounded since October 2023. The Ministry of Health also stated that 47 people were killed and 388 wounded as a result of Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip within the past 24 hours.

An Israeli fighter jet struck a five-story residential building in Jabalia, northern Gaza, resulting in the deaths of three Palestinians and injuries to dozens more. According to medical sources, three Palestinians were also killed and others wounded after an Israeli combat drone targeted a charging point for cell phones between tents sheltering displaced people to the west of Khan Younis, WAFA reported. A child was also shot dead by Israeli troops near the Al-Saraya detention area in Khan Younis. Another civilian succumbed to injuries sustained in a previous Israeli strike on the city.
