The death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surpassed 60,034 Palestinians killed at the hands of the bloodthirsty Israeli occupation forces and government. Of the 60,000 martyrs, 18,592 are children, and 9,782 are women. 

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, women and children constitute more than 47% of the war's martyrs, clear evidence that "Israel" is deliberately targeting defenseless civilians. 

The statement further highlighted that hundreds of bodies and corpses remain trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings, in areas inaccessible to rescue teams due to continued targeting of personnel and sites, in addition to the suffocating humanitarian and medical siege.

Gaza’s youngest starve first as siege chokes off lifesaving aid

The mounting humanitarian toll in Gaza was underscored by the death of 10-year-old Nour Abu Sala'a, who succumbed to starvation and lack of medical care, an emblem of the spiraling crisis under "Israel’s" months-long blockade, which has cut off food, medicine, and clean water for Gaza’s 2.1 million residents.

In a damning alert released Tuesday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger watchdog, warned that "the worst-case scenario of famine is currently playing out" in Gaza. The IPC noted that acute malnutrition, disease, and extreme food deprivation have reached catastrophic levels in several areas, especially Gaza City.

Although Gaza has not yet received a formal famine designation, pending a full assessment, the IPC confirmed it would begin one “without delay". The group, composed of 21 UN agencies and humanitarian organizations, said current data already shows Gaza surpassing famine thresholds for food consumption and child malnutrition.

“Immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access at scale is the only way to prevent more deaths and further catastrophic suffering,” the IPC stated. The organization emphasized that nearly 90% of Gaza lies under evacuation orders or within militarized zones, making food distribution almost impossible.
