The UN human rights office reports that at least 1,760 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid in Gaza since late May, a significant increase from early August figures. On Friday, hospital sources said 44 people were killed in Israeli army attacks across the Gaza Strip, according to Al Jazeera.

The ongoing Israeli bombardment, particularly in Gaza City, has left thousands trapped with no safe escape. Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed that one more child died of starvation on Friday, bringing hunger-related deaths in the enclave to 240, including 107 children.

Since the conflict began, Israel’s military operations have killed at least 61,827 Palestinians and wounded 155,275. In Israel, the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, resulted in over 1,100 deaths and more than 200 captives, Al Jazeera reported.
