The Israeli occupation continues its relentless onslaught against the besieged population of Gaza for the 623rd consecutive day, waging a campaign of genocide marked by airstrikes, artillery fire, and targeted attacks on civilians.

The humanitarian catastrophe intensifies under the shadow of unwavering U.S. political and military support, while the international community remains largely silent in the face of escalating atrocities.

According to field reports from local sources, Israeli forces have carried out dozens of air raids across the Gaza Strip, committing fresh massacres and deepening the displacement crisis affecting over two million Palestinians. These attacks are unfolding amidst a famine that is devastating the already-starving civilian population.

Medical sources report that at least 34 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with 23 victims gunned down while waiting for what is cynically termed “U.S. humanitarian aid.” In one of the latest war crimes, 11 members of the Ayash family lost their lives when an Israeli warplane bombed their home in the Al-Muaskar neighborhood of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israeli snipers and armored vehicles opened fire on starving civilians gathered along Salah al-Din Street in Nuseirat, killing 23 individuals desperately seeking food assistance.

The Israeli military also carried out widespread demolitions in the Al-Shuja’iya and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods, using bulldozers and explosives to flatten residential buildings and displace even more families.

In Jabalia town, drones launched live ammunition at civilian homes, putting already overcrowded shelters further at risk. Explosions echoed across Beit Lahia as Israeli forces reportedly destroyed additional homes, contributing to the systematic erasure of Palestinian communities.

Adding to the mounting tragedy, young Karam Mohammed Al-Najjar succumbed to injuries sustained in a previous Israeli attack on Khan Yunis, a grim reminder of the devastation caused by the collapse of Gaza’s healthcare system.

As hospitals collapse under the weight of endless casualties, the Al-Shifa Medical Complex issued an emergency appeal for blood donations, citing an acute shortage of life-saving supplies amid the blockade and destruction of medical facilities.

Palestinians continue to endure an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, one exacerbated by global indifference and active complicity from Western powers. Human rights organizations are calling for urgent international action to halt the genocide, lift the siege, and bring justice to the victims of Israeli aggression. (ILKHA)
