Gaza Health Ministry: 18 Dead in 24 Hours from Starvation in 'Silent Massacre'
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday that 18 people have died in the past 24 hours due to starvation, a result of the ongoing blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation forces.
In a brief statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the ministry said that starvation in Gaza has so far claimed the lives of 86 people—76 of them children and 10 adults—due to hunger and malnutrition, describing the death toll as a 'silent massacre.'
The ministry held the Israeli occupation and the international community fully responsible for this tragedy, and called for the immediate opening of crossings to allow the entry of food and medicine.

Hamas: Zionist Enemy's abduction of Dr. Al-Hams is escalation in targeting Gaza's Medical Sector
Gaza – SABA: The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the Zionist enemy's abduction of Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, director of field hospitals in the Gaza Strip, calling it a continuation of the systematic criminal targeting of the medical sector and its personnel—through killing, arrest, or intimidation. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Hamas denounced the Israeli forces for kidnapping Dr. Al-Hams and opening fire directly on the ambulance transporting him and his companions during his visit to a field hospital affiliated with the International Committee of the Red Cross in Rafah City. Hamas held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for his life, along with the lives of hundreds of detained medical professionals held under inhumane conditions. The movement called on the international community and its institutions—particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Health Organization—to condemn this crime, pressure for the release of detained doctors, and confront the genocidal war that continues to target all aspects of life in Gaza.
