CAIRO - 16 April 2025: The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Wedesday that the Palestinian death toll as a result of the Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to 1,652 martyrs and 4,391 wounded, since the resumption of Israeli military operations on March 18th.
Amjad Shawa, director of the Palestinian Non-Governmental Organizations Network, said that the Gaza Strip has entered an advanced stage of famine.
"We are beginning to witness thousands of children suffering from malnutrition," Shawa said, adding that these indicators will have serious repercussions.
Shawa added to Al-Qahera TV News Channel that the Gaza Strip is also experiencing an environmental disaster, with the spread of many diseases, in addition to severe water shortage, amid repeated displacements and the lack of shelter and other facilities.
He pointed out that statements by Israeli government ministers and the extreme right, confirm that the Israeli occupation is continuing its war of starvation against the Palestinian people.
Shawa also warned that Israeli threats to continue preventing the entry of aid and imposing the so-called "aid militarization plan" are extremely dangerous, given the occupation army's control over the mechanism for receiving and distributing aid.
