As the Israeli genocide continues, the Health Ministry in Gaza released its daily report updating the Palestinian death toll, which has risen to 35,655 civilians murdered and 79,852 injured as a result of "Israel's" warmongering. 

Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed 6 massacres in Gaza in the past 24 hours, killing 62 and injuring 138. 

Hundreds of victims are still stuck beneath the rubble and in the streets, while rescue teams and civil defense forces remain unable to reach them. 

On the 229th day of "Israel's" onslaught in Gaza, the Israeli occupation artillery fired several shells targeting Palestinian homes in Tal al-Hawa, injuring several civilians who were later transported to the Baptist Hospital. 

In Jabalia, an Israeli airstrike targeted the home of the Abu Zaida family, in the al-Faluga area, killing six members and injuring six others. 

Moreover, 18 Palestinians were massacred after the IOF bombed a shack in the town of al-Zawaida, which was housing displaced civilians who had previously fled the Israeli aggression elsewhere. The martyrs and wounded were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. 

The occupation also carried out an airstrike on the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, killing at least two individuals and injuring several others, who were subsequently taken to Baptist Hospital in the city.

Additionally, the Israeli occupation artillery targeted both the southern and northern regions of Gaza City, as well as the eastern sector of the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. In another incident, a home belonging to the Farhat family in Tal al-Sultan, west of Rafah, was bombed by Israeli warplanes, causing injuries to a number of civilians who were then transported to Kuwait Specialized Hospital in the western part of the city.

UN stops all food distribution in Rafah

The UN stopped food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah on May 21 due to a lack of supplies and an untenable security situation as a result of the Israeli expansion of a military operation in Rafah.

The UN warned that humanitarian operations all around the territory were near collapse.

According to the Associated Press, UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the UNRWA distribution center and the WFP’s warehouses in Rafah were "inaccessible due to ongoing military operations."

It added that when Dujarric was asked about the ramifications of this suspension, he said, "People don’t eat."

As for the UN World Food Programme (WFP), a spokesperson, Abeer Etefa, as reported by AP, also warned that "humanitarian operations in Gaza are near collapse."

She said that if the delivery of food and other supplies into Gaza does not continue "in massive quantities, famine-like conditions will spread."

The spokesperson also said that WFP has also halted distribution in Rafah after exhausting its stocks. 

Even though the WFP is still giving out hot meals and "limited distributions" of reduced food parcels in central Gaza, Etefa said that "food parcel stocks will run out within days."
