Gaza (Quds News Network)- At least 60,034 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of the ongoing genocide in Gaza in October 2023, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health on Tuesday. This includes 18,592 children, 9,782 women, and 4412 members. These groups, the Ministry added, constitute 55% of the total number of martyrs, “clearly reflecting the scale of Israel’s direct and unjustified targeting of civilians.” That’s one out of every 36 people in Gaza and more than 90 people every day, according to Al Jazeera. The grim milestone came as the “worst-case scenario of famine” is unfolding in Gaza, according to a new report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger monitoring system, as Israel continues to block aid from entering the enclave for about five months. “Amid relentless conflict, mass displacement, severely restricted humanitarian access, and the collapse of essential services, including healthcare, the crisis has reached an alarming and deadly turning point,” the IPC document added. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Gaza is already facing famine, citing the latest assessment from IPC. “The trickle of aid must become an ocean. Food, water, medicine, and fuel must flow in waves and without obstruction,” he said. “This nightmare must end. Ending this worst-case scenario will take the best efforts of all parties now.” 147 Palestinians, including 88 children and infants, have died from malnutrition and hunger amid the ongoing Israeli-made famine.
