On day 328 of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the total number of Palestinians killed since the Israeli onslaught started on October 7 has risen to 40,602, and those injured to 93,855, according to the Gaza Health Ministry's daily report.

Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed four massacres across the Gaza Strip, killing 68 Palestinians and injuring 77 others. 

While a number of victims were transported to partially functioning hospitals and medical centers, others remain trapped beneath the rubble, with defense and rescue crews unable to reach them, the statement pointed out.

Netanyahu denies Gaza vaccine 'pause', merely 'allocating' places

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected, in a statement, claims made by the media citing a senior US State Department official that "Israel" agreed to a "pause in the fighting in order to administer polio vaccines."

Netanyahu insisted on reaffirming that the Israeli occupation's security cabinet has rather only agreed on the "allocation of certain places in the Gaza Strip."

In response, some Palestinians in the Gaza Strip mocked the US and its international efforts, saying that "Israel" and the US are afraid Palestinian children would be bombarded to death unvaccinated.

This highlights the gap between the international community's portrayal of its efforts as successes and its actual failure to ensure Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and across occupied Palestine are granted their basic rights.
