Terrifying Numbers.. The Israeli Occupation's Aggression on Gaza on Day 669 Amid Massacres and Starvation
The continuation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands and deepens the humanitarian crisis in an unprecedented manner.
The Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 669th day, amidst tragic humanitarian conditions, with ongoing mass killings and systematic starvation threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents, especially children and women who are suffering from severe shortages of food and clean drinking water. UNICEF confirmed that the rate of child fatalities in Gaza is 28 children per day, a terrifying number that reflects the scale of the humanitarian disaster worsening day by day.
The numbers of victims are rising alarmingly, with the number of martyrs since the onset of aggression on October 7, 2023, reaching approximately 60,939, the majority of whom are children and women, while more than 150,027 people have been injured. Medical sources confirm that rescue teams are unable to reach many besieged areas, amidst ongoing random shelling on residential areas and aid distribution centers, despite the occupation's claims of providing "safe corridors."
With a complete closure of crossings and the prevention of aid entry, diseases have spread, and new deaths have been recorded due to malnutrition and hunger, with the Gaza Health Ministry announcing the death of five people due to hunger and malnutrition, raising the number of victims to 180 martyrs, including 93 children. International organizations have warned of a severe water crisis, as about 90% of the population in the Strip suffers from a lack of access to safe drinking water.
On the 141st day of the resumption of aggression after the collapse of the ceasefire, a large number of citizens were martyred and injured while gathering near aid distribution centers, despite the occupation's claims of "safe corridors." The Health Ministry reported that the number of martyrs since the start of the aggression has exceeded 60,939, with more than 150,027 injured, while rescue teams remain unable to save many trapped under the rubble.
In a serious development, it was announced that nurse Oday Nahid Al-Qur'an was martyred after aid boxes fell on him while attempting to distribute them, and young man Mahmoud Jawad Al-Dura from Al-Bureij camp was martyred due to a previous injury. The numbers of civilian casualties continue to rise, with ongoing shelling on residential areas and relief centers, where three citizens were martyred and others injured in shelling targeting northwest Gaza, and a child was injured by gunfire from a drone east of Deir al-Balah.
In a related context, the Health Ministry recorded new deaths due to Guillain-Barré syndrome, with intestinal viruses spreading that threaten to exacerbate the health crisis, amidst a shortage of medicines and treatments due to the blockade imposed on the Strip. It confirmed that the number of victims from aid distribution operations has exceeded a thousand martyrs, with more than 7,000 injured since the end of May.
In an international report, UNICEF stated that the rate of child fatalities in Gaza is 28 children per day, a terrifying number equivalent to an entire classroom of children being lost daily due to shelling, hunger, and diseases. The United Nations indicated that more than 1,500 people have been martyred while trying to obtain food since May, as the occupation has turned distribution points into military targets.
In a political context, Hebrew media reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is moving towards implementing a plan for a complete occupation of the Gaza Strip, supported by pressure from the far-right, despite opposition from some military leaders, as Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir canceled his visit to Washington. Netanyahu intends to present the occupation plan during the upcoming cabinet session, amidst reports of U.S. approval to expand military operations, with a report indicating that former U.S. President Donald Trump gave Netanyahu the green light to launch a wide operation in Gaza.
Israeli military efforts to expand operations continue, with ongoing field escalation, as Israeli officials confirmed that the government is considering multiple options, including a full incursion, despite warnings that this could lead to the deaths of many detainees and complicate the humanitarian situation in the Strip.
