Israel bombs Gaza, Syria amid alarm over rise in starving children

By Staff Reporter
The United Nations agency for Palestinians, UNRWA, says one in 10 children screened in its clinics in Gaza are malnourished as Israel’s siege of the enclave triggers a man-made starvation crisis.
Israeli forces pound Gaza after killing at least 61 Palestinians on Tuesday, including 23 people in the Shati refugee camp and two others near the notorious US-backed GHF site in Rafah.
The Israeli military has also bombed eastern Lebanon, killing 12 people, and carried out air attacks on the predominantly Druze town of Suwayda in southern Syria, where armed groups are clashing with the Syrian security forces.
Leaders and delegates from 30 countries are meeting in Colombia’s capital, Bogota, to discuss how to stop Israel’s assault on Gaza and its illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 58,479 people and wounded 139,355, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks, and more than 200 were taken captive.
