Gaza City [Gaza], April 19 (ANI): At least 64 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since Friday morning, and the number of casualties continues to rise, according to medical sources quoted by Al Jazeera.
The United Nations' World Food Programme has issued an urgent warning, saying that "Gaza needs food now" as thousands of people are at risk of hunger.
Al Jazeera reported that people in Gaza are "psychologically broken" due to constant Israeli airstrikes and the lack of food caused by the Israeli blockade on aid supplies. Many are struggling to feed their children.
According to the Wafa news agency, Israeli forces arrested eight Palestinians in the Fawwar refugee camp, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. Soldiers reportedly stormed the camp, detained several people, and eventually arrested eight. Wafa also said that many homes were raided, and property inside was damaged and vandalised.
Hazem Musleh, a paediatrician at the Kuwaiti Hospital in southern Gaza's Rafah area, told Al Jazeera that more children are dying or facing serious health risks due to the expanding impact of Israeli attacks.
On World Heritage Day, human rights group Al-Haq said that Israel has targeted several Palestinian cultural sites, including some listed by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
Al Jazeera also reported that the al-Makhrour region, located in the northern Bethlehem area of the occupied West Bank and added to the UN's World Heritage List in 2014, is facing increased threats of land grabbing by Israeli settlers, according to Al-Haq.
The Gaza Government Media Office said the death toll in Gaza has now crossed 61,700. It added that thousands of people are still missing under the rubble and are presumed dead. At least 1,16,505 people have been injured since the war began 18 months ago.
As per Al Jazeera, at least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. More than 200 people were taken captive. (ANI)
