Israeli Attacks Target Civilian Areas in Gaza, Killing 12
An ambulance source confirmed that three Palestinians, including a child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a building sheltering displaced families in the al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza.
In the al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City, another civilian lost his life in a separate attack. The sea was not spared either. Fisherman Ismail Kamal Salah was shot dead by Israeli naval fire while working off the coast of Gaza City, while his brother Shadi was injured in the same attack.
Three aid workers were killed by Israeli forces in the southern Gaza Strip in the meantime. The victims were identified as Muhammad Ali Musa Hussein, Muhammad Khaled Suleiman Abu Musa, and Ahmed Samir Hamed Abu Jazar.
Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza reported receiving 10 wounded this morning after Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, south of the Wadi Gaza area.
Sunday was one of the deadliest days in weeks. Hospital sources said that 57 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire across the Gaza Strip, including 38 people gunned down while seeking food aid at distribution centers supervised by Israel.
At the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, seven people were killed in Israeli shelling that struck the hospital courtyard early Sunday morning. Medical staff described scenes of horror as patients and displaced families were caught in the attack.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that seven Palestinians, including two children, died in the past 24 hours from malnutrition, bringing the total number of starvation-related deaths since the beginning of the war to 258, among them 110 children.
The Government Media Office accused Israel of implementing a deliberate policy of 'engineering starvation and slow killing' against Gaza's 2.4 million people, more than half of whom are children.
Israeli bombardment grew more intense in the southern Strip and neighborhoods in eastern Gaza at the same time. Heavy shelling and airstrikes continued in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, where Israeli forces have been carrying out a prolonged operation for more than a week.

UN Warns of Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza Amid Israeli Military Plan
DaysofPal- The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has issued a stark warning that the planned Israeli military assault in Gaza City could have catastrophic humanitarian consequences, potentially forcing hundreds of thousands of residents to flee, a situation that would lead to forced displacement. OCHA reaffirmed its commitment to continue supporting the people of Gaza, noting that its teams will remain in the city to deliver essential humanitarian aid despite escalating dangers. The office reported that approximately 86% of the Gaza Strip is currently under evacuation orders or designated as military zones, intensifying the risk to civilians and complicating humanitarian operations. Moreover, the UN further highlighted the ongoing famine in Gaza, warning that Israel is engaging in what it described as 'engineered starvation.' This includes direct targeting of the most vulnerable populations, such as children, the sick, and the elderly, with disturbing scenes resembling 'zombies' due to extreme hunger, lack of food, and shortages of medicine. Hospitals in southern Gaza are operating far beyond their capacity, the UN said, stressing that transferring patients from northern areas under these conditions could have dire and potentially fatal consequences. OCHA also urged the international community to take immediate action to ensure the safe passage of food, water, medical supplies, and fuel, emphasizing that without urgent intervention, the humanitarian crisis will deepen, risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Italian Doctors Expose Israeli Claims Over Death of Gazan Woman
DayofPal— Italian medical professionals have raised serious doubts about Israel's explanation for the death of 20-year-old Palestinian woman Marah Abu Zuhri, who was evacuated from Gaza for treatment but died less than 24 hours after arriving at Santa Chiara Hospital in Pisa. Israeli authorities initially claimed that Marah died from severe leukemia and dismissed suggestions that her condition was worsened by malnutrition. However, Italian doctors say their examinations did not confirm a leukemia diagnosis. According to La Nazione, Professor Sara Galimberti, director of Hematology at Santa Chiara Hospital, said Marah arrived in an extremely weakened state and had likely been bedridden for an extended period. 'We started therapy for leukemia that night,' Galimberti said. 'When test results arrived, we stopped treatment because leukemia was not confirmed.' She added that doctors administered high-calorie nutrition and blood transfusions, but Marah suffered acute respiratory failure followed by cardiac arrest. Although no autopsy was performed in accordance with the family's religious wishes, the hospital said this decision does not alter the clinical facts. Her body currently remains at the Legal Medicine department, where authorities may still order a forensic autopsy. Italian specialists now believe long-term malnutrition likely contributed to Marah's death. Her case has drawn renewed attention to the deteriorating healthcare situation in Gaza. In March, the Israeli military bombed the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, the only cancer treatment facility in Gaza, as well as a nearby medical school. Video footage shows the destruction caused by the explosions. Due to Israel's ongoing siege, medical supplies remain blocked from entering Gaza. Hospitals and clinics face dire shortages, and healthcare workers operate under constant threats. Medical professionals warn that Gaza's entire health system is on the brink of collapse if the attacks and blockade persist. Shortlink for this post:
