The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed on Monday that Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip carried out since October 2023 have killed at least 59,029 people.
Scores of Palestinians have been killed every day. At least 34 people have been killed since dawn on Monday, including 20 in northern Gaza and Gaza City, medical sources said. Among the dead were four people killed while trying to get aid.
Additionally, five people have been killed when Israeli fighter jets hit a water desalination plant in the Remal neighbourhood of Gaza City.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army confirmed it had attacked the Houthi-run Hodeidah port in Yemen.
Earlier, UNRWA has issued a scathing warning concerning ongoing hunger-related deaths and starvation levels in the Gaza Strip, where at least 19 people have starved to death in the last 24 hours, as Palestinians bury aid seekers killed in a massacre on Sunday.
Harrowing images have flooded social media showing starving Palestinian women, men and children sprawled on hospital beds, Palestinians collapsing due to hunger and others pleading for international intervention.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees urged that Israel's siege on the war-torn enclave to end and for life-saving aid to enter.
UNRWA said it has enough food for the entire population for three months, but supplies cannot enter, calling the suffering in Gaza "manmade".
