"The World Food Programme: Aid brought in is less than Gaza's needs, suffices for one day
Gaza - Saba:
The World Food Programme announced on Wednesday that it had sent only nine thousand tons of food aid to the Gaza Strip since May 19 last, an amount 'less than the food required for one day' for the residents of the Strip, amid the ongoing Israeli genocide since October 7, 2023.
The UN programme said in a post on platform 'X' that this aid is 'less than the amount of food needed for one day, not a month' for all residents of the Strip.
The programme clarified that it is 'ready to scale up operations' in the besieged Strip.
It added: 'We need access and better conditions to carry out our tasks safely'.
The World Food Programme stressed that 'the time to act is now'.
Since March 2, the enemy has tightly closed the crossings of the Gaza Strip to trucks carrying supplies and aid piled up at the border.
The enemy has only allowed limited numbers of aid trucks to enter via the Kerem Shalom crossing, which it controls east of Rafah city, while Palestinians in Gaza need at least 500 trucks per day.
Since October 7, 2023, the enemy, with US support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international appeals and International Court of Justice orders to halt it".

Israeli enemy forces storm multiple towns & villages in West Bank
Occupied Quds – Saba: The Israeli enemy forces continued their incursions into towns and villages and their assaults on unarmed civilians in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday. In Nablus, a child sustained bruises after being attacked and arrested by Israeli forces in the village of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus. According to the official Palestinian news agency, enemy soldiers assaulted 17-year-old Karam Nail Oweis while he was passing through the village in his father's vehicle. Sources confirmed that the enemy forces fired live ammunition during Oweis' arrest, beat him, and took him to a building that the enemy had converted into a military barracks four days ago. In northeast occupied Quds, Israeli occupation authorities decided to confiscate land in the town of Hizma. The Quds Governorate reported that the enemy authorities plan to seize the road adjacent to Wadi Azriq in Hizma, starting from the main road leading to the town of Jaba up to Al-Aqabat area, along with adjacent land plots, until December 31, 2027. In Jenin Governorate, Israeli forces stormed the towns of Jalboun and Kafr Dan on Wednesday evening. Local sources reported that enemy soldiers raided Jalboun village, east of Jenin, conducting random searches of houses and deploying in several streets. They also broke into Kafr Dan, west of Jenin, and raided a house. Meanwhile, enemy forces invaded the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, deploying in several neighborhoods and firing sound grenades at Palestinian civilians, though no arrests were reported. Later, Israeli forces deployed infantry units in the streets of Jenin, firing live ammunition randomly and obstructing civilian movement. Local sources confirmed that enemy forces shot at a Palestinian vehicle on Al-Sikka Street in Jenin, detaining its occupants without injuries. Troops also spread across the city center and near the Cinema Roundabout, firing live rounds at civilians. Earlier in the day, Israeli bulldozers continued demolishing houses in Jenin refugee camp as part of a demolition plan announced on June 9, targeting 95 houses across several neighborhoods. Additionally, Israeli military vehicles raided Jenin's commercial center near the vegetable market and main roundabout, storming a shop and confiscating its goods while firing toxic tear gas canisters. In the evening, 15-year-old Rayyan Houshiya was martyred by Israeli gunfire during the invasion of Al-Yamoun town, west of Jenin, raising the number of martyrs in the governorate since the aggression began on January 21 to 40. The Israeli enemy has continued its aggression on Jenin and its camp for the 156th consecutive day. Official estimates indicate that around 55,000 people have been displaced from the camp and its surroundings, with 600 houses completely destroyed and numerous others partially damaged, rendering them uninhabitable. The Jenin Municipality estimates direct losses from the aggression at nearly $300 million as of the end of May, stressing that these losses continue to rise daily due to the ongoing assault. The enemy has intensified raids on towns and villages in Jenin Governorate, breaking into homes, forcing residents out, converting buildings into military barracks, detaining and interrogating civilians on the spot, and subjecting detainees to abuse and beatings.

3 Palestinians killed, 8 injured in attacks by zionist settlers in West Bank
Ramallah – Saba: Three Palestinian citizens were killed and seven others were wounded by live ammunition during an attack by Zionist settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, on the town of Kafr Malik east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. Another citizen was injured in a separate settler attack south of Nablus. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that three citizens were killed and seven others were shot by settlers and Israeli occupation forces during the assault on Kafr Malik, according to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA). Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that its teams treated five injured individuals from Kafr Malik after they were shot by settlers, describing their wounds as severe. Local sources reported that dozens of settlers attacked Kafr Malik, burning vehicles and houses while residents of the town and nearby villages attempted to confront them. The sources added that Israeli occupation forces provided protection for the settlers and fired live ammunition at Palestinian civilians. Layla Ghannam, the Governor of Ramallah and Al-Bireh, condemned the heinous crime committed by settler gangs under the direct protection of the Israeli occupation army. She stated that this attack is a clear extension of the criminal policies pursued by the occupation in the West Bank, forming part of a series of ongoing massacres and genocide against the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza. Two days earlier, Israeli occupation forces killed 13-year-old Ammar Muataz Hmaidil, a player on the Palestinian national youth Muay Thai team, by shooting him directly in the town. In Nablus, a Palestinian citizen was injured in the head after being struck by stones thrown by Zionist settlers in the village of Asira al-Qibliya, south of Nablus. WAFA reported that a group of settlers attacked the village, pelting stones at residents and injuring one person. The settlers also burned agricultural land earlier in the day and prevented civil defense crews from reaching the fire to extinguish it. In a related incident, settlers uprooted dozens of trees between the villages of Aqraba and Majdal Bani Fadil south of Nablus. A group of settlers attacked the area, known as "Souf," uprooting and destroying around 80 trees. Additionally, Zionist settlers attacked the Abu Faza'a Al-Kaabneh family east of Ramallah on Wednesday evening. Hassan Malihat, the General Supervisor of the "Al-Baidar" Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, told WAFA that the settlers stormed the area under the protection of Israeli occupation forces and burned a parked car near a home. Eyewitnesses confirmed that the assault followed days of provocative actions by settlers near Bedouin communities, including chanting religious slogans and issuing direct threats in an attempt to impose a new reality on the ground. Later in the day, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its teams treated eight citizens for suffocation due to fires set by settlers burning Palestinian property in the area.
