The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Tuesday that hospitals received the bodies of 113 martyrs, including one retrieved from under the rubble, and 637 injuries in 24 hours. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment.
Since October 7, 2023, as of July 29, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 60,034 Palestinians killed and 145,870 injured.
Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 8,867 killed and 33,829 wounded.
Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine looms over Gaza, 22 starved Palestinians were killed since early morning and over 199 were injured while trying to receive aid at designated "aid distribution sites" and were later transported to hospitals, as per the Ministry's report.
The death toll among Palestinians killed while seeking food aid in designated distribution zones has now climbed to 1,179, with more than 7,957 others wounded, according to the report.
Israeli genocide ongoing
A fresh wave of Israeli air and artillery attacks has killed dozens of Palestinians, mostly women and children, across the Gaza Strip, as international monitors now warn that famine is "unfolding" in the besieged territory amid mass displacement, disease, and starvation.
Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat was overwhelmed with grief as it received the dismembered bodies of 30 Palestinian martyrs, victims of yet another Israeli massacre that reduced family homes in central Gaza’s New Camp to rubble.
Among them were eight members of the Abu Ataya family, their lives cut short in an instant by a direct Israeli strike on their home. Most were children. The air hung heavy with mourning as medics fought to save the wounded, at least 11 others injured in the same brutal assault.
Three families were wiped out from the civil registry
In a related development, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that at least 30 Palestinians, including 14 women and 12 children, were massacred in one of the deadliest single Israeli attacks in recent days. Our correspondent added that three families were completely wiped out from the civil registry, their names now absent from the official record of life in Gaza, due to the massacre. Only fragments remain: shattered homes, bloodstained rubble, and mourning relatives searching through debris for the remains of their loved ones.
In the al-Bureij camp, Israeli drones opened fire on residential areas, while strikes in western Gaza City killed two members of the al-Batsh family near the Haidar roundabout. In eastern Gaza, Israeli artillery shelling intensified in the al-Tuffah and al-Shujaiyya neighborhoods, demolishing several homes.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported injuries among Palestinians seeking aid near the Netzarim corridor after invading Israeli units opened fire. In Khan Younis, four members of the al-Agha family were killed and 14 were injured after Israeli strikes targeted a tent sheltering forcibly displaced people in the al-Mawasi area.
Two of the most prominent Israeli-based rights organizations, B’Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), have accused "Israel" of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that Western nations have both a legal and moral responsibility to intervene.
In separate reports published on Monday, B’Tselem and PHR asserted that "Israel" has deliberately targeted Palestinians in Gaza for nearly two years of war, inflicting severe and irreparable harm to Palestinian society.
The reports, based on extensive documentation, outlined a consistent pattern of atrocities: the killing of tens of thousands of women, children, and elderly Palestinians; mass forced displacement; deliberate starvation; and the systematic destruction of homes and vital infrastructure. These actions have deprived Palestinians of access to healthcare, education, and other fundamental rights.
“What we see is a clear, intentional attack on civilians in order to destroy a group,” said Yuli Novak, director of B’Tselem. “I think every human being has to ask himself: what do you do in the face of genocide?”
Novak stressed the need to recognize genocide even without a formal ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), stating that genocide is not only a legal issue, but also a political and social reality.
