A siege without end: The Gaza genocide in 630 days of horror

The Israeli occupation’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has persisted for 630 days, with relentless airstrikes, artillery attacks, and targeted killings of Palestinian civilians, including displaced families and starving aid seekers.
Backed by unwavering U.S. support and met with global inaction, this campaign has driven Gaza into a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, with over 2 million Palestinians facing starvation and displacement.
Palestinian sources report intensified Israeli assaults, including dozens of airstrikes that have deepened the suffering of Gaza’s population and committed further atrocities against defenseless civilians.
According to Palestinian medical sources, Israeli airstrikes since Friday morning have killed multiple civilians across Gaza. Key incidents include:
A brutal strike on a tent housing displaced families in Al-Mawasi, northwest of Khan Yunis, martyring two and injuring others.
Airstrikes on homes in central Khan Yunis and Jabalia al-Balad, destroying residential areas.
An attack on Palestinians seeking aid along Salah al-Din Road, south of Wadi Gaza, martyring one and injuring 43, with 13 treated at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat.
Israeli forces detonated three explosive-laden robots in eastern Jabalia al-Balad and demolished residential buildings north of Khan Yunis, wiping out entire communities.
Civilian infrastructure east of Gaza City was bombarded by Israeli artillery, further devastating the region.
The Gaza Health Ministry and Palestinian authorities report:
Staggering Losses: Israel’s aggression has martyred 56,259 Palestinians, injured 132,458, and left over 11,000 missing, likely buried under rubble. Since Israel broke a ceasefire on March 18, 2025, an additional 5,936 Palestinians have been killed and 20,417 injured.
Aid Attacks: Since May 27, Israeli forces have turned aid distribution points into death traps, martyring 549 civilians and injuring 4,066. The so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” an Israeli-American initiative rejected by the UN, is accused of weaponizing aid to enforce starvation and compliance.
Essential Workers Targeted: The occupation has killed 1,580 medical workers, 115 civil defense personnel, 220 aid volunteers, and 754 security staff tasked with protecting humanitarian efforts.
Infrastructure Devastated: 88% of Gaza’s buildings have been destroyed, with damages exceeding $62 billion.
Education Eradicated: 149 schools and universities have been completely razed, and 369 others partially damaged.
Cultural Desecration: 828 mosques have been demolished, 167 others damaged, and 19 of Gaza’s 60 cemeteries bombed, violating the sanctity of the dead.
The Palestinian people continue to endure this genocide, marked by deliberate starvation and the systematic erasure of their lives and heritage. Amid global silence, they remain steadfast in their resistance and call for justice. This is a developing story, with casualty figures subject to updates as more information emerges. (ILKHA)
