Hamas Calls for Global Action Sunday Against Israeli-Induced Starvation in Gaza - Jordan News
Hamas has called for a global mobilization on Sunday against what it describes as Israel's systematic starvation policy and ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان In a statement issued Saturday, the movement said: 'A call to the nation and to all free people of the world to rise up globally to save the Palestinian people in Gaza from death by bombing, hunger, and thirst. Let tomorrow, Sunday, and the days that follow be a powerful outcry against the Zionist occupation and the deliberate starvation in Gaza.' Hamas urged people worldwide to launch 'all forms of massive public marches, solidarity events, loud outcries, and every kind of political, diplomatic, parliamentary, labor, and student pressure in solidarity with Gaza and against the war of genocide and starvation, until the brutal aggression ends and the unjust siege is lifted.' The statement called for Sunday and the days that follow to be 'global days of exposing and condemning Zionist crimes of genocide and starvation against innocent civilians in Gaza, including children, women, and the sick.' It concluded by saying: 'Let all efforts come together—Arab, Islamic, and international—and let us unite our voices in solidarity with Gaza and against the war of genocide and starvation targeting more than two million Palestinians.' Earlier on Saturday, the Gaza Ministry of Health warned of the catastrophic effects of famine gripping the Strip due to Israel's total closure of border crossings since early March. It confirmed a sharp increase in deaths caused by hunger. In a statement, the ministry said the Gaza Strip is experiencing 'an actual famine, evident in a severe shortage of essential food supplies, a widespread outbreak of acute malnutrition, and a total lack of medical resources to treat the consequences of this disaster.' On Friday, the Gaza Government Media Office announced that the number of children who have died due to malnutrition has risen to 69 since October 7, 2023. It added that total deaths caused by lack of food and medicine have reached 620 people since October 7, 2023. Since March 2, 2025, Israel has completely closed all crossings into the Gaza Strip, blocking the entry of food and medical aid and triggering a severe famine in the enclave. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a campaign of genocide in Gaza, marked by killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international appeals and rulings from the International Court of Justice to cease its actions. According to Anadolu Agency, this genocide, backed by the United States, has resulted in over 198,000 Palestinians killed or wounded—most of them women and children—more than 9,000 missing persons, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that has claimed many lives.

Israel kills 12 Palestinians waiting for drinking water in central Gaza, including 8 children
Twelve people, including eight children, were killed on Sunday in an Israeli airstrike on a water distribution point in Nuseirat, central Gaza. The attack, one of dozens of airstrikes launched on the same day, represents the latest in a series of blows in which Israel has systematically undermined access to water for Palestinians in the strip, the Gaza Government Media Office said on Monday. Footage from the site shortly after the attack showed a large number of injured from among the crowds that had gathered with gallon containers to fetch water. Civilians could be seen carrying the injured, many of whom were young children, away from the scene. A picture from the targeted site on Monday showed the charred remains of a water tanker truck on a road in northeast Nuseirat. The driver was killed in the airstrike, according to Al Jazeera correspondent Ramy Abu Taima, who said that the tanker was filled with drinking water. Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat published an initial report on Monday announcing the arrival of 'eight martyrs, including six children, and 16 injuries, including seven children, as a result of the Israeli Occupation targeting a water distribution point in the New Camp area.' Gaza's Government Media Office updated the toll of the attack on Monday to twelve people in total. An Israeli military spokesperson, meanwhile, reportedly claimed that the missile with which it targeted a water distribution point had missed its target, which was a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The Israeli Broadcasting Authority quoted the spokesperson as saying that the incident is under review. But over 110 freshwater filling stations have been targeted by Israeli aircraft over the past two years, the Government Media Office said, killing hundreds of civilians as they queue for drinking water. The attacks are part of the 'systematic and deliberate war of deprivation' of people in the Gaza Strip, in which 'water is a collective weapon of war to exterminate the population,'the media office said. Over 700 water wells have also been destroyed, depriving more than one million Palestinians of access to clean water. The Mekorot water supply, the last major source of water supply to the Gaza Strip, has been cut off since January 23, according to the office statement.

In just the past day, nine Palestinians were killed and 78 injured under such conditions. ALBAWABA- The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that 82 Palestinians were killed and 247 others wounded in the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. This comes amid what Palestinian officials describe as a continued campaign of "genocide" by Israeli forces. Since Israel resumed its large-scale assault on March 18, the ministry states that the death toll has reached 7,200, with at least 25,615 others injured. The overall toll since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, has now climbed to 57,800 Palestinians killed and 137,656 injured, according to official Gaza health data. — Anadolu English (@anadoluagency) July 10, 2025 A separate count by the health ministry highlights that 782 people have died and 5,179 have been wounded while awaiting humanitarian aid since May 27. In just the past day, nine Palestinians were killed and 78 injured under such conditions. In a particularly grim development, the Gaza Government Media Office accused Israel of carrying out a "brutal massacre" at a makeshift medical point, where 15 people, including 10 children and 3 women, were killed. The office condemned the strike as yet another atrocity in a war that has now stretched over 21 months. Yesterday alone, the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces stood at 105, with 530 wounded in what has become one of the deadliest phases of the conflict. Meanwhile, international criticism of Israel's actions has been met with U.S. political backlash. The United States imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, after she released a report describing the situation in Gaza as an "economy of genocide." Also Read Six Israeli settlers killed in Gush Etzion supermarket shooting The U.S. had previously sanctioned International Criminal Court (ICC) officials, including Prosecutor Karim Khan, following the ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister for alleged war crimes. In response to the U.S. sanctions, Albanese told MEE Live, 'Looks like I've hit a nerve,' adding, 'They're hitting me from all over with whatever means they have, instead of doing what I'm asking: for states and companies to comply with international law.' Human rights advocates and international legal experts have raised alarm over what they describe as the U.S. systematic targeting of those attempting to uphold international law, underscoring growing global concern over impunity in the conflict. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
