Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 13 more deaths from starvation and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including three children. This brings the total number of hunger-related fatalities in the region to 361, with 130 of the victims being children.
At least 40 Palestinians, including several seeking aid, have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since early morning, according to our correspondent in Deir al-Balah.
At least 12 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a building in Tal al-Hawa in southern Gaza City, reports Al Jazeera, while another strike on a home killed seven in the city’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood.
Five aid-seekers came under fire from the Israeli military fire near an aid distribution point in the Morag Corridor in southern Gaza.
An airstrike on a tent killed at least two Palestinians and injured others while they were sheltering after being displaced at the west of Gaza City, says officials from al-Shifa Hospital.
As Israeli forces advance on Gaza City, Palestinians continue to flee, though no safe haven remains for the roughly one million people still sheltering in the city.
The ongoing Israel’s military offensive has claimed at least 63,557 lives and left 160,660 others wounded.
The Health Ministry also noted that 83 hunger-related deaths, including 15 children, have occurred since a global hunger monitor confirmed a famine in Gaza on August 22. The total number of deaths linked to hunger during the conflict now stands at 361, with 130 of them being children.
