Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, Gaza, has confirmed the martyrdom of three Palestinians, including a child, and the injury of 12 others after the Israeli occupation targeted civilian gatherings near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, south of the Wadi Gaza area in the central Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the Gaza Strip also reported that a Palestinian was killed and others wounded in an Israeli airstrike targeting a group of civilians near the Sanafour intersection in al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza City.

Another strike hit a residential building behind al-Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City, while occupation aircraft also targeted a house in the al-Sabra neighborhood in the city’s south.

In Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, two Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling that struck them in the town of Bani Suhaila. The government media office in Gaza said the death toll from Israeli-induced starvation has risen to 197, including 96 children, since the start of the war.

A report by British magazine The Economist estimated that the total death toll in Gaza could reach 90,000, far exceeding the official figures.

According to Gaza authorities, approximately 70% of the enclave’s buildings have been destroyed since the start of the war. The destruction includes around 76% of schools and 95% of hospitals, leaving survivors facing a dire humanitarian future.

Only 188 of 800 promised aid trucks entered Gaza: Euractiv

On a related note, a recent report from Euractiv, based on a European Commission document, reveals a significant shortfall in the amount of humanitarian aid the Israelis permitted to enter Gaza, falling well below the levels set in a previous agreement with the European Union.

Under the terms of the deal struck in July, around 160 trucks carrying relief supplies were expected to be allowed into Gaza daily. This would amount to a total of 800 trucks over five days, from July 31 to August 4. However, the actual number of trucks that made it into the enclave was much lower.

"Between 31 July and 4 August, the UN and our partners report that 188 trucks were offloaded at crossing points to Gaza," the European Commission document stated.

Israeli authorities, however, presented a different version of events. According to the same document cited by Euractiv, "Israel" claimed that 737 trucks entered Gaza during that period. This figure reportedly includes shipments from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as well as commercial supplies, raising concerns about what actually qualifies as humanitarian aid according to the Israelis.
