90 Palestinians killed as Israel targets food aid sites in Gaza again

Humanitarian organizations report more deaths, displacement in Gaza

Monitoring Desk

GAZA: At least 90 Palestinians, including 36 people near food aid sites in Rafah, killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Saturday.
World Food Programme (WFP) said thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are on the “verge of catastrophic hunger”, with one in three people in the enclave not eating for days at a time.
Syria president announces “immediate ceasefire” in Suwayda province.
Hamas said Israel rejected a ceasefire proposal that would have seen the release of all remaining captives held in Gaza, and pledged it was prepared for a lengthy war if there is no deal.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 58,765 people and wounded 140,485.

Meanwhile, Humanitarian organizations report more deaths, displacement & desperation in Gaza

The continued Israeli onslaught and mass deprivation of people in the Gaza Strip is becoming normalized, the UN aid coordination office OCHA warned.
“Every day brings more preventable deaths, displacement and desperation,” the agency said in a humanitarian update.
On Friday, Israeli authorities issued another displacement order, this time for parts of North Gaza.
OCHA said it continues to receive deeply troubling reports of malnourished children and adults being admitted to hospitals with insufficient resources available to treat them.
The energy crisis in Gaza is also deepening, despite the resumption of limited fuel imports as the quantities that are entering – while critical for continuity – “remain at lower levels than what we were previously able to extract from dwindling internal reserves, which have now been fully depleted”.
The situation has forced solid waste collection to be paused in recent days, and additional wells have had to shut down, particularly in Deir Al-Balah.
“While specific health services, including dialysis, have reduced or shut down, others could go on for a few more days before they too will have to go dark,” OCHA warned.
“With every day that passes, people have less clean water and healthcare and more sewage flooding ground floors.”
Since the limited entry of fuel entry supplies resumed on 9 July, the UN has managed to send just over 600,000 litres of diesel to Kerem Shalom. On Thursday,
it was able to send 35,000 litres of much-needed benzene for the first time.
OCHA said these volumes are limited because Israel has allowed only 14 trucks over the past week.
