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.

The Ministry also confirmed seven new deaths from starvation and malnutrition within the same period, bringing the total to 154 deaths, including 89 children. Since October 7, 2023, the total number of those killed in Gaza has reached 60,138, with 146,269 people injured. From March 18, 2025, alone, 8,970 people have been killed and 34,228 wounded. Critics, including former UN officials, say that delays in supporting the UN-led aid system have deepened Gaza's humanitarian crisis.

Gaza famine warning as Israel resists ceasefire calls
GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories — Gaza is slipping into famine, UN-backed experts warned Tuesday, as the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory said the death toll in the nearly 22-month war had surpassed 60,000. The health ministry figure excludes deaths from hunger in the Palestinian territory gripped by dire humanitarian conditions made worse by Israel's total blockade of aid from March to May. This week, Israel launched a daily pause in fighting and opened secure routes to enable UN and non-governmental agencies to distribute food on Gaza's devastated streets. Hundreds of truckloads of aid have begun to arrive. But Israeli strikes continued overnight, killing 30 people in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to Gaza's civil defence agency, and experts warn a humanitarian catastrophe of historic proportions is imminent. "The worst-case scenario of famine is now unfolding in the Gaza Strip," said the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification Initiative [IPC], a coalition of monitors tasked by the UN to warn of impending crises. Urgent action now The World Food Programme's emergency director, Ross Smith, likened the situation to some of the worst famines of the past century. "This is unlike anything we have seen in this century. It reminds us of previous disasters in Ethiopia or Biafra," Smith said via video-link from Rome. "We need urgent action now." In a statement released ahead of the IPC report, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office accused Hamas of distorting casualty figures and accused the group of looting food aid destined for Palestinian civilians. "While the situation in Gaza is difficult and Israel has been working to ensure aid delivery, Hamas benefits from attempting to fuel the perception of a humanitarian crisis," the statement said. "We already allow significant amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza every single day, including food, water and medicine. Unfortunately, Hamas... has been stealing aid from the Gaza population, many times by shooting Palestinians." As late as Sunday, Netanyahu had been insisting there was "no starvation in Gaza" but even his close international ally, US President Donald Trump, has now warned the situation appears to be "real starvation". Israel imposed a total blockade on Gaza on March 2 after ceasefire talks broke down. In late May, it began allowing a small trickle of aid to resume, amid warnings of a wave of starvation. Then on Sunday, faced with a mounting international chorus of alarm, Israel began a series of "tactical pauses" while allowed aid trucks to cross two border crossings into Gaza, and Jordanian and Emirati planes to airdrop aid. Shipments have ramped up, but for the IPC this effort will not prove enough unless aid agencies are granted "immediate, unimpeded" humanitarian access. "Failure to act now will result in widespread death in much of the Strip," it said, warning that 16 children under the age of five had died of hunger since July 17. "Mounting evidence shows that widespread starvation, malnutrition, and disease are driving a rise in hunger-related deaths," it said. According to Netanyahu's office, the pause in military operations covers "key populated areas" between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm every day. Designated aid convoy routes will be secure from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. COGAT, an Israeli defence ministry body in charge of civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, said more than 200 truckloads of aid were distributed by the UN and aid agencies on Monday. Air strikes Another 260 trucks were permitted to cross into Gaza to deposit aid at collection points, four UN tankers brought in fuel and 20 pallets of aid were airdropped from Jordanian and Emirati planes, COGAT said. Overnight, however, strikes continued. Gaza's civil defence agency said Tuesday that Israeli air strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians, including women and children, in the central Nuseirat district. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said the strikes were carried out overnight and into the morning and "targeted a number of citizens' homes" in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The local al Awda hospital said it had received "the bodies of 30 martyrs, including 14 women and 12 children". An Israeli military spokesman told AFP that he would need more information to enable him to look into the strikes. With aid experts pushing for a ceasefire to enable a large-scale humanitarian operation, Israel's foreign minister addressed reporters in Jerusalem to denounce what he called a "distorted campaign" of international pressure. Gideon Saar told reporters that if Israel was to halt the conflict while Hamas is still in power in Gaza and still holding hostages it would be a "tragedy for both Israelis and Palestinians". "It ain't gonna happen, no matter how much pressure is put on Israel," he said.
