UN says 10 children per day lose their legs in Gaza
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) has said that “10 children per day lose one or both of their legs,” in Gaza. In total, “134,105 people including over 40,500 children have new war-related injuries,” OHCHR said in a post on X.
This includes more than 35,000 people “believed to have significant hearing damage due to explosions.” Israeli forces issued forced displacement orders for residents of Jabalia and the surrounding areas in northern Gaza, warning Palestinians not to return.
At least 61 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks on Tuesday. Many were children. Some of the most intense attacks happened in Gaza City and the Shati refugee camp, where at least 23 people were killed.
A recap of recent developments
The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, says one in 10 children screened in its clinics in Gaza are malnourished as Israel’s siege of the enclave triggers a man-made starvation crisis.
Israeli forces continue bombarding Gaza after killing at least 61 Palestinians, including 23 people in the Shati refugee camp and two others near the notorious US-backed GHF site in Rafah.
Israel’s military has also attacked the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, killing 12 people, and bombed the predominantly Druze town of Suwayda in southern Syria, where armed groups are clashing with the Syrian security forces.
The US has called on Israel to launch and inquiry into the killing of 20-year-old US citizen Sayfollah Musallet who was beaten to death by settlers in the occupied West Bank, calling the incident a “terrorist act”.
The ultra-Orthodox United Torah Judaism party in Israel has announced it is quitting the government, dealing a blow to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition and leaving him with a razor-thin majority in the Israeli parliament.
Leaders and delegates from 30 countries are meeting in Colombia’s capital, Bogota, to discuss how to stop Israel’s assault on Gaza and its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.

Israel...kill ‘em all and let God sort them out!
The entire population of Palestine are radical terrorists. That includes men, women and children. Hate brings consequences.
These are the “Chosen people”
that pull the Holocaust card
and brand everyone who has a
different opinion, antisemitic.
The US is complicit in the war
crimes and atrocities committed in Palestine. Both
Democratic and Republican.
