The Genocide in Gaza Continues

At least 37 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn today, including 25 killed in Gaza City, according to Al Jazeera. Among those killed was Palestinian journalist Mohammed al-Kouifi, who worked for the Safa news agency and Al-Aqsa TV channel.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reports at least 34 Palestinians killed and 316 injured in the past 24 hours. Three Palestinians were killed and 47 injured while seeking aid. The total recorded death toll since October 7, 2023 is now 64,905 killed, with 164,926 injured.
Three more deaths were recorded over the past 24 hours due to starvation and malnutrition, bringing the total since the start of the war to 425, including 145 children.
The Israeli military bombed the high rise al-Ghafri Tower in Gaza City on Monday, according to Al Jazeera. The attack comes after Israel targeted four high rise towers in Gaza City on Sunday—including one on the Islamic University campus. The strikes killed at least 48 people in Gaza City, including a family of six who had fled Beit Hanoun, with hundreds more wounded. Israel claimed without evidence that the strikes had targeted Hamas surveillance posts.
On August 2, Israeli forces declared Gaza’s Beit Hanoun Battalion had “surrendered and [been] defeated.” Yet today, the Shin Bet announced they killed 11 fighters, including commanders, in a tunnel raid there. As Jon Elmer told Drop Site in July, Beit Hanoun has been “where the General’s plan went to die,” with fighters enduring Israel’s siege and continuing their resistance.
Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant reports that at least 114 children in Gaza, aged 15 or under, were treated for single gunshot wounds to the head or chest by 15 international doctors and a nurse—indicating deliberate targeting. Many were shot in Israeli-declared “humanitarian zones,” with forensic analysis showing bullets consistent with snipers or armed drones. The report details amputations without anesthesia, maggot-infested wounds, and hospitals bombed mid-operation, with some medical staff smuggling evidence to the ICC despite personal risks.
On Saturday night, Israel struck near Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, killing at least one person and injuring several others after a civilian vehicle was hit. Journalist Osama Abu Rabee reports that drones also fired at the hospital, wounding additional civilians.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’s Olga Cherevko told Reuters that conditions since the UN famine declaration on Aug. 22 remain dire, with starvation deaths occurring daily. About 1 million people remain in northern Gaza, many unable or unwilling to leave, while aid convoys face 12+ hour delays for Israeli approvals, leaving the most vulnerable unreached. Cherevko called the risk of famine spreading south “extremely worrisome.”
UN data shows only 24% of aid trucks reached Gaza this month, delivering just 114 trucks total (1,713 tons) compared to the 600 trucks per day that are needed. Three-fourths of shipments (366 of 481 trucks) were intercepted in transit, depriving warehouses and bakeries of nearly 4,200 tons of food. OCHA spokesperson Olga Cherevko described convoys being “attacked and taken over… by men with guns,” highlighting the extreme risks facing aid deliveries.
