The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported on Monday that hospitals in the Gaza Strip received six martyrs and 344 injured over the past 24 hours amid continued Israeli aggression. Civil defense teams reported that several victims remain under rubble and on the streets, with ambulances unable to reach them due to ongoing bombardment.
The overall toll since October 7, 2023, has risen to 62,004 martyrs and 156,230 injuries, according to Gaza health authorities. Since March 18, 2025, 10,460 martyrs and 44,189 injuries have been recorded.
Additionally, hospitals received 27 martyrs and 281 injured from attacks on aid convoys in the past 24 hours, raising the total to 1,965 martyrs and more than 14,701 injuries since the beginning of the crisis.
While medical authorities said five people, including two children, died in the last 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, bringing the total to 263 deaths, among them 112 children.
Amnesty: 'Israel' deliberately starving Palestinians
In a report earlier today, Amnesty International accused "Israel" of implementing a "deliberate policy" of starvation against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, warning that the blockade and aid restrictions are creating catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
In a report citing testimonies from displaced Palestinians and medical personnel treating malnourished children, Amnesty stated that "Israel" is carrying out a deliberate campaign of starvation in the occupied Gaza Strip.
"As Israeli authorities threaten to launch a full-scale ground invasion of Gaza City, the testimonies we have collected are far more than accounts of suffering, they are a searing indictment of an international system that has granted Israel a license to torment Palestinians with near-total impunity for decades," Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns at Amnesty International, Erika Guevara-Rosas said.
The rights group accused "Israel" of “systematically destroying the health, well-being, and social fabric of Palestinian life.”
"While millions around the world continue to take to the streets in protest and world leaders engage in rhetorical posturing, Israel’s deliberate and systematic campaign of starvation continues to inflict unbearable suffering on an entire population," Guevara-Rosas said. "Palestinian children are being left to waste away, forcing families into an impossible choice: helplessly hearing the cries of their emaciated children pleading for food, or risking death or injury in a desperate search for aid.”
