NGOs: Aid entering northern Gaza insufficient
Gaza – Saba: Amjad al-Shawa, director of the NGO Network in Gaza, confirmed on Tuesday that the aid entering northern Gaza is insufficient. He said in press statements: "What has entered northern Gaza so far is insufficient, and we are waiting for food supplies." He continued, "No one has received any of the flour that has entered except those who were present at the trucks." For his part, an official with the Medical Relief Society in Gaza confirmed on Tuesday that aid centers have turned into death traps, and people are dying daily. He explained that the food rations distributed at aid centers are very small, indicating that injuries occurring directly near aid centers are fatal. The Medical Relief Society official added, "76,000 children are registered as suffering from malnutrition, and this is not an exhaustive number." He continued, "People are falling into the streets from extreme hunger," noting that at least 41 percent of kidney failure patients have died due to lack of resources. The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that another day of aid distribution in Gaza is another day of death traps. Lazzarini explained in a statement on Tuesday that day after day, deaths and dozens of injuries are reported at distribution points run by Israel and private security companies. Earlier on Tuesday, the Government Media Office in Gaza confirmed, in a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), that the number of martyrs at the "Israeli-American aid distribution centers" since this morning has risen to 36, with more than 208 injured, bringing the total number of victims at the "Israeli-American aid distribution centers" to 163. And 1,495 were injured, all of them starving civilians seeking a living under siege and starvation. With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit crimes of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,981 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 126,920 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews.

WHO: al-Amal hospital in Gaza out of service
Rome – Saba: Director-General of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced on Tuesday that al-Amal Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip is out of service. In a post on X platform, Ghebreyesus said, "al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis is currently out of service due to increased attacks by the Israeli army in its vicinity," according to the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa). He noted that the hospital is no longer accessible, leading to more preventable deaths. The UN official explained that the hospital is no longer able to receive new patients, despite the presence of many in need of medical care. He noted that with the closure of Al Amal Hospital, Nasser Hospital is now the only hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, with an intensive care unit. Ghebreyesus added, "We once again call for an immediate ceasefire, the protection of health facilities, and unhindered access to essential medicines and medical supplies." Health services in the Gaza Strip are facing a complete collapse due to the systematic attacks launched by the Israeli occupation army on hospitals and medical facilities, as part of the genocide it has been perpetrating against the people of the Strip for more than a year and a half. With American and European support, the Israeli occupation army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,981 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 126,920 others. This is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews.
