The Palestinian Islamic Resistance movement, Hamas, hailed the Genocide Scholars Association's recent confirmation that the Israeli occupation is committing genocide in Gaza, affirming that it "constitutes new legal documentation of what the people of Palestine are subjected to." 

Hamas' statement also slammed the international community's failure to mobilize and take action to end the atrocities being carried out in Gaza as an "unjustifiable disgrace."

Regardless, the Palestinian Resistance movement urged the international community, the United Nations, and all relevant organizations to take immediate action to stop the crimes of genocide, forced displacement, and ethnic cleansing committed by the Israeli entity against the Palestinian people.

Gaza death toll surpasses 63,500

The Health Ministry in Gaza announced on Monday that 98 Palestinians were martyred and 404 others injured in the past 24 hours as the Israeli occupation continued its assault on the besieged Strip.

Authorities said the overall death toll since October 7, 2023, has now risen to 63,557 martyrs and 160,660 injuries. Rescue workers warned that many victims remain trapped under rubble or stranded on roads that emergency crews cannot access due to ongoing bombardment.

According to the ministry, between March 18, 2025, and today, 11,426 people have been killed and 48,619 injured, underscoring the intensifying scale of the attacks.

The daily report also highlighted that 46 people seeking humanitarian aid were killed and 239 were injured in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of what Gaza authorities describe as “breadwinner martyrs” to 2,294, with more than 16,839 others wounded since the start of the war on Gaza.

Hospitals in Gaza further recorded nine new deaths due to famine and malnutrition, including three children. The cumulative toll from hunger-related causes has reached 348 deaths, among them 127 children.
