Join on Telegram The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continue their devastating aggression targeting civilians in Gaza, with the death toll since October 7 approaching 32,000.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, the death toll reached 31,988 as Israeli aggression killed at least 65 civilians in the last 24 hours.
Israel’s latest aggression also wounded 92 across Gaza over the past 2’ hours, bringing the total of injured victims to 74,188 to date.
Over 8,000 people are missing, the ministry said, noting that the majority of IOF’s aggression victims are children and women.
Data from UNICEF recently said that Israel has to date killed more than 13,000 children in Gaza.
In addition to the armed aggression, Israel’s humanitarian blockade killed dozens of children who suffered from starvation and dehydration.
“I have been in wards of children who are suffering from severe anaemia malnutrition, the whole ward is absolutely quiet. Because the children, the babies … don’t even have the energy to cry,” UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell told CBS News last week.
Many have slammed Israel for using hunger as a weapon in Gaza, including French Senator Guillaume Gontard.
In a speech before the upper house of the French parliament on Wednesday, Gontard said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will go down in history for “using hunger as a weapon.”
Amid the desperate need for an end to the ongoing devastating war, US Secretary Antony Blinken said today that his country circulated a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding an “immediate ceasefire” and the release of hostages in Gaza
While the US has repeatedly vetoed such resolutions over the past months in support of Israel’s “right to self-defense,” the top American diplomat appeared to claim that the unfolding catastrophe in Gaza was reaching unparalleled heights.
