At least 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, and one body has been recovered in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
At least 113 people were also injured in that period, the ministry added, reports Al Jazeera.
The death toll in Gaza rose to 52,365 killed, with 117,905 wounded, since October 7, 2023, it added.
Israel has killed at least 2,273 Palestinians and wounded 5,864 since it broke the ceasefire on March 18, according to the ministry.
The Gaza-based Government Media Office said that famine is spreading in the enclave, with “more than a million children at risk”.
“Vital sectors in Gaza are collapsing amid a stifling blockade and shameful international silence. We warn that the humanitarian catastrophe will continue to worsen at a frightening rate as the occupation continues to close the crossings,” the office said.
It added that famine has become a “reality” with at least 52 deaths, including 50 children, due to hunger and malnutrition.
Israel has maintained an eight-week blockade on food, medicine and aid entering Gaza, while continuing its aerial attacks on homes and tent shelters – deepening what the United Nations describes as the war’s “worst humanitarian crisis”.
