At least 27 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces while seeking food aid in Gaza on Sunday, with six others dying from starvation. Witnesses described Israeli forces firing on hungry crowds at a distribution site. These deaths are part of a string of deadly shootings targeting those seeking aid.
The Gaza health ministry reported 119 deaths in the last 24 hours due to Israeli actions, including those seeking aid. The Palestinian Red Crescent headquarters in Khan Younis was targeted, resulting in casualties. A school used as shelter was also struck.
Gaza faces a deepening famine, attributed to Israel's aid blockade. While Israel denies a crisis, humanitarian groups report severe restrictions on aid entry. Six more starvation deaths were reported, bringing the total to 175.
Humanitarian organizations stress the need for increased aid to address the crisis.
Meanwhile, an Israeli minister's visit to al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem sparked regional outrage. The minister called for Gaza's annexation.
The visit occurred as the Israeli public reacted to videos of emaciated hostages. Netanyahu requested aid for the hostages.
The occupied West Bank saw protests against the war and Palestinian detentions, with demonstrators highlighting the suffering in Gaza.

It’s sad, but measures must be taken when a group is launching rockets from civilian areas.

Starvation deaths? Aren’t there tunnels that facilitate smuggling in Gaza? Let’s remember that!

Media often ignore Hamas’ role in this crisis. This isn't a one-sided issue.

Why is the world silent while these atrocities happen? The suffering of innocent people must be addressed!

These reports highlight the urgent need for intervention. No one should die because of a lack of food.
