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

JAF sends medical aid to Jordan's field hospital in Gaza
AMMAN — The Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF) on Wednesday dispatched a new aid convoy to the Jordanian field hospital in southern Gaza, reinforcing its ongoing medical and humanitarian mission to support the Palestinian people. The convoy, organised by the Royal Supply and Transport Directorate, included food supplies, drinking water, fuel and other humanitarian aid, aimed at maintaining the hospital's full operational capacity and ensuring continued medical care for patients and the wounded in the Gaza Strip, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The field hospital remains fully functional, offering advanced healthcare services through its specialised medical and technical teams. These efforts have helped alleviate the severe humanitarian suffering endured by Palestinians amid the region's ongoing crisis. Since its establishment two years ago, the hospital has treated approximately 364,883 patients. It has also conducted 19,302 major and minor surgical procedures, in addition to providing emergency care, radiology and laboratory services, and round-the-clock nursing within an integrated healthcare framework. These efforts underscore the unwavering humanitarian commitment of the Jordan Armed Forces to supporting brotherly nations and enhancing the resilience of medical institutions in conflict-affected areas, in line with its mission to deliver relief and assistance wherever needed. Jordan runs two military field hospitals in Gaza, one in the Strip's north, which was established in 2009 following the war in 2008. The second was established in Khan Younis in the south in November 2023 at the peak of the Israeli war of aggression on the coastal enclave that erupted on October 7, 2023. Besides the field hospitals in Gaza, the JAF established the Jordanian field hospital in Nablus in late November 2023 and has conducted over 900 surgeries and received more than 83,000 patients ever since. The Kingdom, in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen, has also dispatched a mobile bakery with a production capacity of 3,500 loaves of bread per hour to Gaza.
