The Health Ministry in Gaza's daily report updating the death toll resulting from the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza revealed that 39,175 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and 90,403 others have been injured since October 7.
On the 293rd day of the genocide, the IOF committed three massacres against Palestinian civilians, killing 30 and injuring 146.
A number of victims are still trapped beneath the rubble, with rescue and civil defense teams unable to reach them.
The Government Media Office in Gaza declared earlier in June that 3,500 more children were at risk of dying from malnutrition and starvation, and 34 children had already starved to death.
This prompted the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to issue a dire warning over the effects of hunger on Palestinian mothers and children in Gaza as a result of "Israel's" genocide.
In an X post, it said: “According to doctors, it has become increasingly common for premature and low-weight babies to be born in Gaza”.
It added that “malnutrition poses a great danger to pregnant women and newborns, leading to an increase in stillbirths, low-weight babies, and children suffering from wasting and delayed growth," as it called for a ceasefire because it “is the solution to save their lives.”
