As part of its larger-than-life assault on Gaza City, the Israeli military carried out several strikes that targeted civilians, killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child close to the Shati refugee camp.
According to the Wafa news agency, another child was also killed in the attack on a house close to the camp on Monday, according to medical sources at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital.
Ten people died on Monday in the south of the city’s Zeitoun and Sabra neighbourhoods, which the military razed and destroyed on Monday. More than 1, 000 buildings have been leveled since Israel’s push to control the city center began last month.
Locals scurrying in all directions amid the debris after an Israeli attack that left at least four people dead and dozens of others injured earlier in the day at a crowded market in Gaza City’s Nasser Street, with chaos erupting from there.
According to Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout, the victims were panic-stricken.
They are unsure of what to do or where to go. They are working so hard to find a safer location, he claimed, but the Israeli army continues to attack every street corner.
Further south, Israel targeted a group of students inside Al-Mazra’a School in Deir el-Balah. Wafe reported that later, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital announced Anas Saeed Abu Mughsib’s passing.
According to medical sources, at least 59 people were killed overall on Monday during Israeli attacks across the Strip.
The 21st Century’s “Man-made famine”
Residents of Gaza City are now threatened by war and famine, two things that have already happened.
Three infants died on Monday as a result of the months-long blockade by Israel. More than 350 people have died in the enclave from hunger and starvation since Israel’s war started in October 2023, more than a third of those deaths.
According to authorities, Israel’s recent arrival of humanitarian aid trucks into the Strip has only provided 15% of the population’s needs.
However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refrained from reporting an “outright lie” from the Integrated Food Security Classification (PIC), the world’s top organization for food crises, in August.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Lammy, acknowledged the UN-backed IPC declaration on Monday, calling Israel “outraged” by its inability to provide enough aid to Gaza.
He claimed that this is a man-made famine in the twenty-first century rather than a natural disaster.
“We need a massive, massive humanitarian response to stop more deaths,” according to the statement from NGOs, humanitarians, and health workers who are permitted to work in Gaza.
“Power-hungry ruler”
In Israel, mourners gathered for the separate funerals of Idan Shtivi and Ilan Weiss, who were both taken from Israel during the Hamas attack in October of last year. Their remains were found in an Israeli military operation in Gaza last week.
Some criticized the government for failing to reach a resolution with Hamas to put an end to the conflict and release the prisoners who were still at large.
Ruti Taro, a survivor, told The Associated Press that “it’s a horror, it’s profound sadness and grief and grief beyond words to express the anger, the hostages, the insult to the fallen, the insult to the soldiers sent once more to Gaza.”
“The power-hungry ruler alone knows why,” he said.
Eyal Zamir, the head of the Israeli army, was reportedly in a warning over Netanyahu’s intentions to occupy Gaza without making any post-war plans, according to an Ynet report from Monday.
During a meeting of the Israeli security cabinet late on Sunday, Zamir reportedly said, “You are heading to a military government.” Your direction is in our favor. Understand the implications.
