Six people died in other attacks against Gaza elsewhere on Saturday, according to hospitals and the Palestine Red Crescent.

A hunger ad increases pressure

An integrated classification report of the food security phase, or IPC, said Friday that the city of Gaza is affected by the famine that probably extends if the struggles and restrictions in humanitarian aid continue.

It was a very rare pronouncement from the group, the first in the Middle East, and arrived after Israel imposed a blockade of 2 1/2 months in Gaza earlier this year, then it relieved access with an approach in a new provider of private aid backed by the United States, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundationor GHF.

AP journalists have seen chaos and safety problems on roads that lead to aid delivery points, and there have been reports of Israeli troops shooting for help applicants. Israel’s army says they shoot shots if people approach troops or represent a threat to soldiers.

The CPI said that almost half a million people in Gaza, approximately a quarter of the population, face catastrophic hunger that leaves many at risk of dying. He said hunger has been extended by a generalized displacement and the collapse of food production.

The Netanyahu office denounced the IPC report as “an absolute lie” and accuses Hamas of starving the hostages. Israel says it has allowed enough help to enter during the war.

The Israeli army has said that the troops are operating on the outskirts of the city of Gaza and in the neighborhood of Zeitoun of the city.

Israel says that the city of Gaza remains a strength of Hamas, with a network of militant tunnels. The city also houses hundreds of thousands of civilians, some of whom have fled from other places.

The high fire efforts await Israel’s response

Many Israelis fear that the assault on the city of Gaza can condemn the approximately 20 hostages that have survived captivity since 2023.

Netanyahu said Thursday that he had ordered officials to begin immediate negotiations to release hostages and end the war in the terms of Israel. It is not clear if Israel will return to long -standing conversations mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar after Hamas said earlier this week that he accepted a new proposal of the Arab mediators.

Hamas has said that he would release captives in exchange for ending the war, but rejects disarmament without the creation of a Palestinian state.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, expressed his frustration with the position of Hamas, suggesting that the militant group was less interested in making agreements to free hostages with so few remain alive.

“The situation has to end. It is extortion and has to end,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “In fact, I think (the hostages are) safer in many ways if you entered and you really entered quickly and did.”

The Gaza Ministry of Health said on Saturday that at least 62,622 people have been killed since the war began, including the disappeared people now confirmed dead by a Judicial Committee of the Special Ministry.

The total number of deaths related to malnutrition increased from eight to 281, the ministry said.
