Israel kills 135 Palestinians in Gaza in 24 hours

At least 135 Palestinians, including 87 aid seekers, have been killed and 771 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

The count includes five people who starved to death in the past 24 hours, it said, raising the hunger-related death toll to 193, including 96 children.

Three bodies were also recovered from the rubble of previous Israeli attacks, the ministry statement said on Telegram.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 61,158 Palestinians and injured 151,442 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.

The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27, when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the controversial GHF, has reached 1,655, with more than 11,800 injured, the statement said.
