The Israeli forces have continued hitting Gaza, hitting an busy market and a water distribution point, killing at least 95 Palestinians, since the deaths from the Israel war in the enclave passed the gloomy milestone of 58,000.
The Israeli attack on the city of Gaza killed at least 17 people on Sunday, including the prominent Doctor Ahmed Qandil, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
In the central field of refugees of Nuseirat, the Israeli forces launched a missile attack, hitting a water collection point and killing at least 10 people.
According to medical sources, most of the victims were children who had placed themselves to collect drinking water. At least another 17 were also injured.
The Israeli army has not yet commented on the strike in the city of Gaza, but said that his attack against Nuseirat was aimed at a Palestinian fighter and that he had diverted from our sess due to a technical failure.
The Israeli claim could not be verified independently.
Mortal attacks occur as Gaza's shortage continues to get worse, with closed desalination and sanitation plants due to the ongoing Israeli fuel block. Many residents now trust dangerous trips to limited water collection points.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said Sunday that the number of deaths confirmed in general of the Israel War has increased to 58,026 people. More than half of those killed since the war began on October 7, 2023 have been women and children.
The ministry said that at least 138,500 others have also been injured.
Israel's war and siege have also left 2.1 million people in Gaza to the edge of the famine, with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) announcing the death of another baby from malnutrition.
'Child survival emergency'
The seven -month -old girl, Salam, died while she was treated by UNRWA staff on Sunday, the agency said. The last death occurred one day after the authorities in Gaza said that at least 67 children have already died of malnutrition since the Israel war began.
Meanwhile, the UN Children's Agency (UNICEF) said that more than 5,800 children have been diagnosed with malnutrition in Gaza in June, including more than 1,000 children in serious conditions. The figure marks an increase for the fourth consecutive month, the agency said in an X publication.
“Children's bodies are wasting. This is not just a nutritional crisis. It is an emergency of child survival,” the group added.
UNICEF and seven UN seven agencies also issued a separate joint statement, warning that Israel's blocking at the entry of fuel supplies in Gaza also threatens to close hospitals, water systems, sanitation networks and ambulances in the strip.
In the statement, the agencies that also included the World Food Program, the World Health Organization and the UN Humanitarian Office (Ocha) said they may have to stop their operations completely “without adequate fuel.”
“This means that there are no health services, nor clean water and no ability to provide help,” the agencies said. “Fuel in Gaza should be allowed in sufficient quantities and constantly to maintain operations that save lives.”
Meanwhile, the Gaza Government Media Office accused Israel and security contractors who worked at the aid distribution points of intentionally attacker civilians. In a statement, he called the sites of the Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) backed by the United States (GHF) “Death Traps” and described the situation as “genocide engineering under the sponsorship of the United States.”
At least 805 people have been killed and 5,250 wounds while trying to collect help since the GHF began operating in May.
Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera, informing from the city of Gaza, said hundreds have died while trying to access humanitarian aid from GHF points.
“People travel up to 15 km [9 miles] From the north to Rafah, many on foot, some during the night, just to get a food package, “he said.” But even then, they find themselves with a living fire of the Israeli forces. “
High fire conversations
Meanwhile, efforts to end war continue in the capital of Qatar, Doha.
The envoy of the Middle East of the president of the United States, Steve Witkoff, speaking with journalists in New Jersey, said he was still “hopeful” about truce conversations. The envoy is expected to meet with Qatar officials on the banks of the FIFA Club World Cup final.
However, the comments occurred as a proposal backed by the United States for a high 60 -day fire remains bogged down in disagreements, and both sides are blamed for each other for delays.
Speaking to Al Jazeera, the vice president of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Muhammad al-Hindi, said that Israel has resisted committing to key conditions before moving on to the issue of prisoners.
“We are discussing a framework agreement. Includes three points: termination of aggression, gaza withdrawal and safe aid distribution,” he said. “Israel wants to jump directly to the prisoner archive without guarantees about the main problems.”
Al-Hindi accused Israel of trying to control Rafah's southern city and force civilians to crowded and bombarded areas under the appearance of help distribution.
“We cannot legitimize these help traps that are killing our people. The resistance will not sign any agreement that is equivalent to surrender,” he said.
Meanwhile, in Israel, Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara said that Netanyahu's close advisor Jonatan Urich faces a possible accusation for accusations that he leaked military information classified to the German newspaper Bild.
Urich and another assistant are accused of transmitting secret intelligence to influence public opinion after six Israeli captives died in Gaza last August. The deaths caused mass protests in Israel and deepened public anger for the management of the government of high fire efforts.
Netanyahu has dismissed research as politically motivated, describing it as “witch hunt.” Urich has denied having acted badly.
Bild's article, published shortly after the bodies of the captives were discovered, closely aligned with Netanyahu's narrative to blame Hamas for the collapse of the previous conversations of Alto El Fuego.
A previous two -month truce, which began in January, saw the release of 38 captives before Israel broke the fire and resume its devastating military assault.
