Gaza death toll nears 61,400 amid Israel's genocidal war
Humanitarian aid packages are airdropped over the Gaza Strip, as seen from Israel, August 9, 2025. REUTERS/Jamal Awad TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY ANKARA: At least 61,369 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Health Ministry said on Saturday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported. A ministry statement said that 39 bodies were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours, while 491 people were injured, taking the number of injuries to 152,850 in the Israeli onslaught. "Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,' it added. The ministry also said that 21 Palestinians were killed and over 341 injured while trying to get humanitarian aid in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed while seeking aid to 1,743, with over 12,590 others wounded since May 27. The ministry reported that 11 people, including children, have died in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition. This brings the total death toll from starvation to 212, among them 98 children, as the humanitarian crisis in the enclave deepens. The Israeli army resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip on March 18 and has since killed 9,862 people and injured 40,809 others, shattering a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.- Bernama

MSF condemns 'orchestrated killings' at Gaza aid sites
KUALA LUMPUR: Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has accused Israeli forces and private American contractors of orchestrating violence against Palestinians at food distribution sites run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), calling for the immediate shutdown of these operations. In a new report titled "This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing," MSF documents targeted and indiscriminate attacks at GHF-run sites in Gaza, which have become deadly hotspots amid the ongoing conflict. Between June 7 and July 24, MSF treated 1,380 casualties — including 28 fatalities — at its clinics near the GHF distribution points. Among them were 71 children wounded by gunfire, 25 of whom were under the age of 15. MSF General Director Raquel Ayora alleged that children have been shot in the chest while simply reaching for food. "People have been crushed or suffocated in stampedes, and entire crowds have been gunned down at distribution points. In nearly 54 years of MSF's operations, we have rarely witnessed such systematic violence against unarmed civilians. "These Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution sites, which are supposed to provide aid, have instead become laboratories of cruelty. This must end immediately." MSF's data shows 11 per cent of gunshot wounds treated were to the head and neck, with another 19 per cent to the chest, abdomen, and back — indicating intentional targeting rather than accidental fire. Mohammed Riad Tabasi, a patient at the Al-Mawasi clinic, recounted, "I saw it with my own eyes, about 20 corpses around me. All of them shot in the head, in the stomach." The GHF, operated under full Israeli military control and "secured" by private American armed contractors, replaced the UN-led aid effort in May amid allegations of aid diversion. MSF called the scheme a "laboratory of cruelty" and urged governments to suspend all financial and political support. MSF emergency coordinator Aitor Zabalgogeazkoa said patients also suffer theft and violent assaults while trying to secure or protect food rations, with many listed as "Beaten By Others" in medical records. "On Aug 1, 15-year-old Mahmoud Jamal Al-Attar was killed at a GHF site while trying to get food. "We only treat a fraction of those killed or injured. The murder of children at these sites is intentional." MSF calls on governments, especially the United States, to suspend all support for the GHF and urges the immediate restoration of UN-coordinated aid distribution to protect civilians in Gaza.

Israeli-U.S. study stops cancer weight loss via nerve intervention
JERUSALEM, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Israeli and U.S. researchers have discovered that disrupted brain-liver communication drives severe weight loss, or cachexia, in cancer patients, Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science said Thursday in a statement. The study, published in Cell, found that cancer-induced inflammation damages the vagus nerve, a major pathway between the brain and liver, triggering the depletion of muscle and fat linked to nearly a third of cancer deaths, read the statement. Researchers blocked the right vagus nerve in mice non-invasively, preventing cachexia and improving their response to chemotherapy, read the statement, noting that the method boosted survival rates and overall health, with human trials underway. According to the researchers, using clinically approved technologies, the study promises rapid patient access, offering hope for up to 85 percent of cancer patients suffering from extreme weight loss in some types of cancer, such as pancreatic and lung tumors.
