Gaza’s Health Ministry said Wednesday that Israeli attacks killed 35 Palestinians and wounded 109 over the previous 24-hour period, as aid groups are warning that people are facing starvation due to the Israeli blockade.
The Health Ministry’s numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues. “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli strikes on Wednesday included the bombing of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. One strike killed three people, including a father, a mother, and their child.
WAFA also reported that three people, including two girls, were killed by Israeli strikes on Jabalia, northern Gaza. On the coast, one fisherman was killed by Israeli fire.
According to Al Jazeera, Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said it was engaged in battles with Israeli troops near Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, and Israeli shelling was reported in the area.
The violence in Gaza comes as Israel continues to block humanitarian aid and all other goods from entering Gaza. The UN’s World Food Program warned on Wednesday that if the situation doesn’t change, Palestinians will start starving to death. “We may see deaths from malnutrition as the crossings remain closed,” a WFP spokeswoman told Al Jazeera Arabic.
The Health Ministry said that since Israel resumed its genocidal war on March 18, which it did with full US support, it has recorded the deaths of 2,308 Palestinians and 5,973 injuries.
Since October 7, 2023, the ministry’s death toll has reached 52,400, and the number of wounded has climbed to 118,014, figures that don’t account for thousands missing and presumed dead under the rubble or indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege.
Dave, it’s difficult to receive these reports daily. How do you handle reporting it?
It must be heartbreaking to write up, but you must also feel like you are shouting into a void?
Don't say that. It must be one of the most noble things that can be done under the circumstances here in the west. For the last year and a half aljazeera Arabic has been leading on the hour of every day with Gaza casualties. The people of Gaza are recording live their own genocide. Remember Israel will not let in journalists to report on Gaza. This way we at least acknowledge their daily suffering. Palestine will be free.
You think it was an insult? It wasn’t. He’s one of the few on a more major platform who reports daily.
It’s noble.
No of course not. I know what you meant and where your sentiments lie, and I was praising him.
Few believe a two-state solution will be enacted. President Trump is willfully assisting Israel toward genociding all Palestinians, Lebanese, Yemenis, and Syrians, including Syria's President Al Joulani and his HTS flock. Jordanians are temporarily exempt.
We've not witnessed a mass regional genocide since WW III. This may be a slow burn without a nuclear exchange. I estimate 5-10 million deaths by New Year's Day.
Saudi Arabia's Mohammad Bin Salman shouldn't be complacent.
These reports daily of high Palestinian death counts are callousing the public to be complacent to genocide. What the world does NOT see is the social upheaval, within Israel itself as it self-consumes to its hatred! The REAL threatened are not only Palestinians and neighboring states, but the Israeli people themselves. In the alleged name of stomping out "terror" to protect the Israeli people, Nutty Yahoo is threatening their very existence. Extremism needs an antidote before the nation implodes! As Jesus Himself allegedly said – "live by the sword and die by the sword".
The US taxpayer as a priority spends money to have lawyers argue at the ICJ that Israel has a right to use starvation against 2 million civilians. The US and Israel have made it clear that they won't/don't respect any decision of said court, and no one expects any pro-genocide argument to prevail.
The Q then becomes "Why bother?" and the answer appears to be to show absolute devotion to the worst Israeli behavior, no matter what. It's like those fetish conventions in which Mistress has to walk subbie on the leash in the hotel lobby for a while, so others can witness the humiliation, or it doesn't count.

America and Israel, thx for the next rash of 911's. Start practicing looking angry and baffled and innocent when yr saying, 'Why do they hate us?'
and 'Who knew not every country had failsafe secure uranium reserves?'
and 'my god my god the lawless depraved beasts! – these were not military targets! they're acting just like Israel & its US apologists acted – actually justifying the mass murder of civilians!'
