US-Israeli Gaza genocide

There seems to be no end in sight to the U-S-Israeli genocide in Gaza as the Tel Aviv regime continues to pound the blockaded territory with air and artillery strikes. In one of the latest attacks, three Palestinians, including a child, were killed, and several others injured after gatherings of civilians were targeted near the southern city of Khan Yunis. In a separate strike, at least one civilian was killed, and several others injured east of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City. In central Gaza, a Palestinian man was killed after Israel’s artillery fire targeted Al-Mufti area, north of the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp. Israeli artillery shelling hit other parts of Gaza, leaving an unknown number of Palestinians dead and wounded. More than 40 civilians were killed and one-hundred-63 others injured in a single day. The Israeli genocide, which began last October, has killed nearly 40,300 Palestinians, and injured over 93,000 so far.

Plight of displaced Gazans

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says thousands of civilians in Gaza have been forcefully displaced due to Israel’s frequent evacuation orders. According to UNRWA, Israel has issued 12 evacuation orders this month, affecting around 250,000 people across the besieged territory. UNRWA said Palestinian families are repeatedly displaced, carrying whatever they can amid relentless Israeli attacks and summer heat. The UN agency added that there is no escape from this exhausting cycle in Gaza. It also rejected Israeli claims that evacuation orders are meant to protect civilians, saying they lead to the exact opposite. UNRWA said Palestinians in Gaza have no access to essential services for survival, including medical facilities, shelters, water wells and humanitarian supplies. Nearly two-million people have been displaced across Gaza since the onset of the US-Israeli genocide early last October.

UK arming Israel

An international children's rights organization has called for an arms embargo on Israel, citing the regime’s massacre of women and children in Gaza. The call by Save the Children UK came after a recent Israeli airstrike killed nearly a dozen women and children, including a group of ten-year-old quadruplets, and their mother. The rights organization urged the British government to immediately stop selling arms to the Tel Aviv regime. It said there is a clear risk that weapons sold to Israel might be used to commit serious violations of international humanitarian law. The new development came after a group of international rights organizations launched legal action to stop UK arms sales to Israel over the regime’s war crimes in Gaza. The UK has continued arms supplies to Israel despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza, issuing more than 100 arms export licenses since last October.
