Al Jazeera reported that large swaths of Gaza’s north have been turned into “lifeless wastelands” due to Israel’s intensifying assault.
At least eight more people, including three children, have starved to death, bringing the total number of hunger-related deaths in the enclave to 235, including 106 children, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said.
The UN experts have denounced the Israeli regime for carrying out “medicide” through its destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system, and the killing and starvation of health workers.
Since October 2023, the Israeli military has destroyed more than 89 percent of buildings in Rafah, southern Gaza, and 84 percent of buildings across northern Gaza, according to mapping published in July by Israel’s Hebrew University.
At least 61,722 people have been killed in that time, while 154,525 have been wounded.
