US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
Nearly two dozen Palestinians have been killed in fresh Israeli strikes across Gaza since dawn, as the regime presses ahead with the genocidal war on the besieged strip. In the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis, at least six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli drone attack targeting a tent sheltering displaced families. An airstrike also hit a residential home in the Shati refugee camp, killing at least four people, including a child. Meanwhile, acute hunger and severe malnutrition continue to claim lives. The latest victim was a one-and-four-month-old child, who died due to the lack of baby formula. This brings the total number of starvation-related fatalities to 197. Since the US-Israeli genocide began in October 2023, more than 61,100 Palestinians have been killed, and over 151,400 have been injured.
