Five More Palestinians Starve to Death in Gaza as Israeli Attacks Kill 89 in a Day

HeadlineAug 12, 2025

Palestinian health officials say Israeli attacks have killed at least 89 people across Gaza over the past day, including 31 people killed while seeking food. Among the dead are five Palestinians bombed in a tent sheltering displaced civilians in al-Mawasi, which Israel has designated a “safe zone” despite consistently attacking the area. More than 500 others have been wounded by Israel’s latest attacks. Meanwhile, Israel’s blockade of Gaza has led to five more deaths from famine and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, including two children. Palestinian health officials say at least 227 people have starved to death due to the siege.
