While the ceasefire continues in the Gaza Strip, 4 Palestinians lost their lives when Israeli forces targeted a vehicle and a motorcycle in the West Bank city of Jenin yesterday. Many civilians were also injured in the attacks.
The death toll from the attacks launched by Israel 12 days ago on the city of Jenin and the Jenin Refugee Camp has risen to 24.
The UN Integrated Food Security Stage Classification (IPC) officially declared a famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, warning that over 500,000 people face “catastrophic” conditions. Another 1.7 million are in emergency levels, with nearly all agriculture destroyed and food access critically restricted since March.
UN officials said the famine is “entirely man-made” and blamed Israel’s obstruction of aid deliveries. Human rights chief Volker Türk warned that deaths from starvation may constitute war crimes. Israel rejected the report, calling it based on “Hamas’s lies.”
