The death toll increased by 88 to 59,821 in the last 24 hours

In a written statement made by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the latest information on the casualties and injuries in the ongoing Israeli attacks was shared.

In the statement, 88 dead and 374 wounded were brought to hospitals in Gaza in the last 24 hours.

It was stated that 8,657 Palestinians were killed and 32,810 people were injured in the attacks carried out by the Israeli army since March 18, breaking the ceasefire reached on January 19 in Gaza.

It was reported that the number of people who lost their lives in Israel's attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023 has risen to 59,821 and the number of wounded to 144,851.

It is stated that there are still thousands of dead under the rubble in the Gaza Strip.

Since May 27, the number of deaths in Gaza has reached 1132 and the number of wounded has reached 7,521 as a result of systematic attacks targeting Palestinians in the distribution areas established by the Israeli-US-led "Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation" under the name of humanitarian aid.

It was reported that 6 more Palestinians, including 2 children, died of hunger in the last 24 hours in the Gaza Strip, where Israel imposed famine, and the number of deaths due to hunger increased to 133, including 87 children.

The Israeli army announced that the "humanitarian break" in Gaza will begin at 10 am this morning

In a statement released by the Israeli army, which prevented the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, causing civilians to starve to death, it was claimed that the army will stop its attacks on the Gaza Strip for 10 hours in line with the government's "humanitarian pause" decision to increase the entry of humanitarian aid.

It was claimed that the "humanitarian pause" will be applied every day until further notice in the al-Mawasi area in the southern Gaza Strip, Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip and Gaza City, where there are no Israeli ground troops.

It was also claimed that "safe routes" were designated to be used from 06:00 am to 23:00 pm to ensure the safe passage of convoys of UN and humanitarian organizations that deliver and distribute food and medicine to the people throughout the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry announced on July 27 that a "humanitarian pause" of a few hours had been imposed on attacks on Gaza after the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza led to mass deaths from starvation and increased international pressure.

Hamas: Israel's aerial aid show is an attempt to hide genocide

"The urgent delivery of food, medicine and humanitarian aid to our people in Gaza is a natural right to stop the imposed humanitarian catastrophe," Hamas said in a written statement.

The statement said that Israel's airdropping of a limited amount of aid to some parts of Gaza was a "show and deceptive step" and emphasized that it was "an attempt to whitewash the image of the occupation in front of the world public opinion" and "an attempt to cover up the rights of the Palestinian people to lift the blockade".

Emphasizing that this step "seeks to cover up the policy of starving the Palestinians led by the war criminal (Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin) Netanyahu's government", it said:

"The Israeli occupation's plan to airdrop aid and its efforts to control the so-called 'humanitarian corridors' are not meant to end the policy of starvation, but to manage it and create a reality imposed on the ground by force, accompanied by bombs and starvation. These plans endanger the lives of civilians, humiliate their dignity, and oppress them instead of offering them comprehensive protection and assistance."

Hamas said in the statement that in order to end the crime of starvation in Gaza, the attacks must stop, the blockade must be lifted and humanitarian aid must be delivered safely under UN supervision. "The steps of the war criminal Netanyahu government to create inhumane mechanisms to manage hunger by controlling aid have led to the death of more than a thousand people, including children, and the injury of nearly 6,000 civilians," the statement said.

"It is vital to maintain international and popular pressure to lift the blockade and stop the brutal starvation and genocidal crimes. The deceptive propaganda of the fascist occupation government should not be fooled."

The Israeli army had claimed that it would take some steps for the entry of humanitarian aid due to international pressure in the Gaza Strip, where it caused a humanitarian catastrophe with the blockade it imposed and caused starvation deaths.

German Chancellor Merz calls on Netanyahu to deliver urgent humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza

German Government Spokesperson Stefan Kornelius stated in a written statement that Chancellor Merz had a telephone conversation with Netanyahu.

Merz expressed her deep concern about the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, "Merz asked Prime Minister Netanyahu to do everything in his power to achieve an immediate ceasefire. Merz called on Netanyahu to immediately deliver urgently needed humanitarian aid to the starving civilian population in Gaza."

The statement emphasized that this aid must be delivered to the civilian population quickly, safely and to the extent necessary and that effective action must be taken quickly following the measures announced by the Israeli government.

The German government will closely monitor developments and will decide in consultation with France, the UK and other European partners, as well as the US and Arab countries, how it can contribute to improving the situation in the coming days.

The statement argued that the German government "has no doubt that Hamas initiated the fighting in Gaza on October 7, 2023" and reiterated that the recognition of the State of Palestine is not currently on Berlin's agenda.

The statement added that the German government continues to see the recognition of the State of Palestine as one of the last steps towards the realization of the two-state solution.
