The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation army had killed 400 citizens and injured 1,300 others as they were waiting for aid delivery in southern Gaza since the “flour massacre” in late February.
“The occupation insists on targeting those searching for food for their hungry children and persists in its starvation campaign against our people especially in the northern Gaza Strip where the citizens suffer from real famine amid a complete lack of most basic materials and commodities and a noticeable scarcity of aid,” GMO said in a statement on Tuesday.
GMO said that the Israeli occupation army attacked in the morning aid seekers at al-Kuwait junction in Gaza City, killing and injuring dozens of them.
Last night, nine citizens were martyred and at least 38 others were injured in an Israeli attack as they were waiting for aid trucks in the same area.
For its part, the health ministry in Gaza said on Tuesday that the Israeli occupation army committed eight massacres in different areas of the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, killing at least 72 civilians and injuring over 129 others, while a large number of victims are still under the rubble of bombed buildings or lying on roads.
In a statement, the health ministry added that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli bombardments and shooting attacks, which started on October 7, climbed to 31,184 martyrs and the number of the wounded surged to 72,889 people.
Every day, the Israeli army escalates its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless bombardment since a cross-border operation was launched by Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, on October 7.
Besides the large number of casualties and the huge displacement of people, basic food, fuel, water and medical supplies have run out for the 2.3 million residents in Gaza due to the tight Israeli blockade and the massive destruction of infrastructure, facilities and food supplies.
