Israel Continues Attacks on Aid Seekers as Gaza’s Largest Hospital Is Forced to Halt Dialysis 

HeadlineJul 02, 2025

In Gaza, Israeli forces have killed at least 43 more Palestinians, including people seeking aid and displaced families sheltering in tents. Al Jazeera reports that in just five weeks, Israel has killed at least 600 Palestinians as they sought aid at distribution sites run by the militarized, U.S.- and Israeli-backed so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. This comes as Gaza’s largest hospital, Al-Shifa, has exhausted its supplies of fuel to run generators, due to Israel’s ongoing blockade. At least 350 kidney failure patients in Gaza face imminent death as Al-Shifa doctors on Tuesday were forced to shut down the hospital’s dialysis ward. Israel’s continuing slaughter and blockade came as President Trump claimed Israeli officials have agreed to finalize a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, though Israel has not yet confirmed it has approved conditions for a new deal.
