Mass starvation
The United Nations’ commission of inquiry on the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel stated in its report that Israeli forces and authorities carried out four of the five acts defined under the Genocide Convention.
Israel kills dozens of Palestinians every day in Gaza and is currently preparing to expand operations by conquering Gaza City, home to hundreds of thousands of people, and reoccupy the entire enclave.
Moreover, unrelenting Israeli strikes have killed a total of 62,622 people and injured 157,673 more, including 10,778 fatalities and 45,632 injuries since 18 March, when Israel shattered a ceasefire with Hamas and resumed the fighting.
Families of captives fear it could endanger the remaining captives, who are believed to number around 20 and are likely hidden in Gaza’s underground network.
The Israeli forces said they are implementing “tactical pause” in areas where they are not operating, including Gaza City, Deir Al Balah and Al Mawasi areas.
The “tactical pause” will start on Sunday and last from 10 AM to 8 PM local time every day until further notice, the Israeli army noted in a statement on X.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has documented the death of 21 children under five-years-old in Gaza due to malnutrition, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday.
Mass starvation has wiped out thousands of penguin chicks in Antarctica, forcing their parents to forage further for food in a "catastrophic breeding failure".
