At least 123 Palestinians, including 21 aid seekers, have been killed and 437 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in 24 hours, according to the enclave’s health ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

In the same time period, at least eight people, including three children, have starved to death in the territory, bringing the total count of hunger-related deaths to 235, including 106 children.

Israel’s offensive on Gaza has killed a total of 61,722 Palestinians and injured 154,525 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.

The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27 when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the US-based GHF has reached 1,859 with more than 13,594 injured, the statement said.
