Starvation death toll in Gaza rises to 2,571, over 18,800 wounded

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday that the number of civilians who have died from starvation and siege-related causes has risen to 2,571, while more than 18,817 have been wounded.

In a statement, the ministry confirmed that hospitals in the Strip had recorded five starvation-related deaths and 48 injuries among those awaiting aid in the past 24 hours.

The ministry pointed out that Israeli enemy crimes against Palestinians waiting for humanitarian assistance continue daily, particularly since the implementation of the so-called “Israeli-American mechanism,” supervised by the “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” on May 27.
