The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip is entering its 100th day, with the number of dead, since the beginning of the war until yesterday, Saturday, reaching 23,843 dead and 60,317 injured, according to the spokesman for the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Strip, Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra.

The Israeli forces continue their relentless air, ground and sea bombardment campaigns on various areas of the Gaza Strip, with a focus on the center and south of the Gaza Strip, and the city of Khan Yunis is still subjected to continuous violent bombardment.

With the blockade policy implemented by Israel, preventing food and medical aid from entering the Gaza Strip, and the systematic targeting of infrastructure facilities, especially the health sector, warnings continue of catastrophic effects on the people of Gaza, who are now threatened with starvation, in addition to the necessity of providing urgent medical aid.

The government media office in Gaza warned yesterday that the continued policy of starvation and thirst threatens the lives of 800,000 citizens in the northern Gaza Strip, explaining that the northern Gaza governorate currently needs 600 trucks of aid and food on a daily basis.

Regarding Israeli prisoners, the “Al-Qassam Brigades”, the military arm of the Hamas movement, said that it had lost contact with the cell responsible for four Israeli prisoners it had held since 2014. “Al-Qassam” broadcast a video under the title “Time is running out” in reference to the faltering efforts to conclude an exchange deal. Until now, pictures of the four prisoners appeared in the video.
