12-06-2025

GAZA STRIP: At least 120 Palestinians have been killed and 474 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. Three bodies of those killed previously were also recovered from the rubble.

At least 57 aid seekers were killed and more than 363 injured by Israel since this morning, bringing the total number of people killed at aid distribution centres to 224, with 1,858 others injured, the ministry added.

The Israeli military has admitted its troops fired “warning shots” in the area of the Netzarim Corridor, where the majority of aid seekers were reported killed overnight, adding that it is “aware of reports regarding individuals injured, the details are under review”.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 55,104 Palestinians and wounded 127,394, according to the Health Ministry.

An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks of October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive.

EU urges Israel to cancel move to cut off Palestinian banks

The EU has urged Israel to abandon Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s plan to revoke a waiver that enables Israeli banks to work with Palestinian counterparts – a move that could effectively cripple the Palestinian financial system.

“The European Union is deeply concerned by the instruction by Israel’s finance minister Smotrich to cancel the waiver on cooperation with Palestinian banks, which could cut them off from the Israeli financial system, devastate an already crippled Palestinian economy, and may lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority,” EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said.

“The EU calls on Israel to revert this decision immediately and to refrain from any action that could lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.”

An Israeli attack in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood has killed at least seven people, according to local medical sources quoted by our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

At least 120 Palestinians have been killed and 474 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

At least 57 aid seekers were killed and more than 363 injured by Israel since this morning, bringing the total number of people killed at aid distribution centres to 224, with 1,858 others injured, it added. The total death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has risen to 55,104 killed and 127,394 injured since October 7, 2023, it said.

Israel has killed 4,821 Palestinians and injured 15,353 since breaking a ceasefire in March this year.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has released a statement warning that the health system in the besieged enclave, especially in the north, is on the brink of collapse. Here is a summary of its main points;

Hospitals are experiencing severe overcrowding as Israeli forces continue to prevent the entry of life-saving medical supplies.

Hundreds of patients and wounded are suffering from incomplete treatment due to the severe depletion of the remaining medical departments.️

The state of healthcare in northern Gaza is “catastrophic” after all hospitals were taken out of service.

Emergency solutions will become “meaningless” as health and humanitarian conditions deteriorate.

The Ministry of Health renews its urgent appeal to all concerned parties to intervene immediately. (Int’l News Desk)
