Medical officials in the Gaza Strip said 98 people were killed and 1,079 wounded during the 24 hours leading up to midday Saturday, amid intensified Israeli airstrikes and ground fire across the enclave. Separate reports from hospitals put the number of Palestinians shot while waiting for food aid at 12, part of a broader tally of 36 fatalities attributed to Israeli forces since dawn. Hospitals are also recording a growing number of deaths linked to starvation. Al-Shifa Medical Complex documented seven fatalities, including a child, from hunger and malnutrition in the past day. The facility’s director warned the territory has entered "the final and most dangerous stage of famine," saying staff now log hunger-related deaths daily. Doctors Without Borders echoed the alarm, calling conditions "a famine, not a food shortage," and cautioning that mortality will rise unless large-scale food deliveries resume. The Gaza Ministry of Health said the humanitarian crisis is worsening under Israel’s months-long siege and urged international intervention. Limited airdrops and an aid scheme backed by the United States and Israel have failed to stabilize food supplies, according to relief groups and eyewitness accounts. Footage aired by Israel’s Channel 12 showed crowds of emaciated residents rushing distribution points, underscoring the collapse of order as people search for basic staples.
