Children perish among 23 latest victims of Israel’s unceasing war of genocide on Gaza

Zionist regime’s airstrikes overnight and into Saturday have claimed the lives of at least 23 Palestinians in Gaza, including three children and their parents, whose tent was bombed in the Gaza City.


The devastating assaults hit multiple locations, with Gaza's health ministry reporting that the victims included an entire family of five whose tent was struck in Gaza City’s Sabra District.

 

In another attack on Friday, Israeli forces targeted a warehouse belonging to UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, located in northern Gaza’s city of Jabaliya.

 

Four individuals were killed, and the bodies were taken to the Indonesian Hospital, which confirmed the casualties.

 

Footage showed fires raging in the building, which had already been hit multiple times during the Zionist regime’s ongoing ground offensives.

 

The attacks came amidst a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the Zionist regime’s military has ramped up its bombardment since March, when Tel Aviv began to unilaterally violate every term of a two-month ceasefire that had been reached in January.

 

The ceasefire had been meant to end the regime’s October 2023-present war of genocide on Gaza. Tel Aviv, however, not only practically tore up the deal, but also significantly stepped up the genocide.

 

Overall, the war has claimed the lives of nearly 52,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children.

 

Additionally, over 119,000 people have been wounded. The regime claims to have killed “thousands of” resistance fighters, though it has not provided substantial evidence to corroborate the claim.

 

The situation is compounded by the regime’s simultaneously tightening its blockade of Gaza to crippling proportions, cutting off vital supplies of food and medicine to the territory’s 2.3-million-strong residents.

 

Humanitarian groups have raised alarms about the growing restrictions on aid, with charity kitchens, the last source of food for many, shutting down as their supplies run out, and raising the prospect of dozens of additional closures.

 

The United Nations and other organizations have rejected Israeli proposals to allow private groups to control aid distribution in the area.

 

These groups, made up of American security contractors and former military officers, have been met with widespread skepticism, with critics describing the plan as inadequate and a potential violation of humanitarian principles.

 

Zionist regime’s military has tried to justify the blockade, claiming that it was necessary to pressure Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement to release Zionist captives and lay down its arms, which are Gaza’s sole source of defense in the face of the regime’s unabated deadly aggression.

 

However, rights groups have condemned the blockade as a "starvation tactic" and a war crime.

 

The regime has also accused Hamas of siphoning off aid, but the UN has rejected the claim, asserting that it effectively monitors the aid distribution process.
