US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

The death toll continues to rise in the Gaza Strip amid the relentless Israeli bombing campaign. The regime's airstrikes killed at least 10 civilians waiting for aid in the southern city of Rafah. Several people were also seriously injured. Another two were also killed in an earlier drone attack on the city. Women and children were among those wounded. To the north, another Israeli drone strike claimed the lives of two Palestinians and injured more than a dozen others. And three people, including a woman, were killed when Israeli forces bombed a house in Gaza City. Eight Palestinians were also killed in a new airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The death toll from the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza has now risen above 37,340. Most of those killed were women and children.

Humanitarian crisis in Gaza

The UN humanitarian chief has described the situation in Gaza as a "hell on earth" amid the ongoing US-Israeli genocide there. Martin Griffiths says Palestinians are on the verge of famine and delivering humanitarian aid to them is almost impossible. Griffiths slammed the US and other countries for continuing to supply Israel with weapons, despite what he described as the onslaught’s appalling impact on civilians. The UN’s top aid official also warned that the number of humanitarian workers and UN staff killed in the besieged strip is alarming. Meanwhile, the head of the UN Palestinian refugee agency warned that hostilities are continuing in southern Gaza, including the city of Rafah, despite Israel’s announcement of a pause in attacks. Philippe Lazzarini stressed that nothing has changed operationally so far.

Anti-Netanyahu protests

Israeli forces have clashed with protesters near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in al-Quds, as thousands rally against the regime’s handling of the Gaza onslaught. At least one person was wounded and nine others arrested. Israeli forces used water cannons to disperse the protesters. Demonstrators broke through barriers while chanting "Down with the tyrant!”. Another demonstration was also held outside the Knesset in the city. The protesters called for immediate elections and a ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas. The protests came after Netanyahu dissolved his wartime cabinet, which had been tasked with eliminating the Palestinian resistance.
