The Israeli army kills an average of 100 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip daily, in addition to those dying of starvation and lack of medical care, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

“On average, 100 people are reported killed every day in Gaza due to the Israeli military operation or shootings at the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’ food points. Meanwhile, others die of hunger or lack of medical care.”

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement on US social media company X.

Israel has killed over 66,100 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave uninhabitable and led to a famine.

On May 27, Israel launched a separate aid distribution scheme through the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), bypassing the UN and international humanitarian agencies.

Since then, nearly 2,600 people have been killed and 19,000 others injured by Israeli fire while collecting aid at distribution points.

“The growing death toll is fueling a growing indifference,” Lazzarini said, calling for documenting the ongoing Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip.

“The suffering must be heard and attended to,” he said, renewing his call for an immediate ceasefire.

Separately, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty reiterated support for UNRWA’s efforts to help Palestinian refugees in various areas, especially in Gaza. This came during his meeting with Lazzarini on the sidelines of the Munich Leaders Meeting in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

According to a Foreign Ministry readout, Abdelatty stressed the importance of continuing to provide financial and political support for the UN agency.

He called on the international community “to pressure Israel to allow UNRWA’s relief convoys into Gaza, especially in light of the famine that the Gaza Strip is facing as a result of Israeli starvation policies.”

In October 2024, following claims by the Israeli government that some UNRWA staff were allegedly involved in attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel blocked UNRWA operations in the West Bank and Gaza after a Knesset vote.

UNRWA, founded in the aftermath of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba, also known as the Catastrophe, provides aid to approximately 5.9 million Palestinians across five main regions: Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on Thursday that around 42,000 people in Gaza, a quarter of them children, are living with war-related injuries that have caused permanent disabilities and will require long-term medical care.

According to a WHO report, out of an estimated 167,376 people injured since October 2023, one in four has suffered lasting damage, including more than 5,000 amputations.

Other serious injuries reported include over 22,000 limb injuries, more than 2,000 spinal cord injuries, nearly 1,300 traumatic brain injuries, and over 3,300 severe burns.

These injuries need a “further increasing the need for specialized surgical and rehabilitation services and deeply affecting patients and their families across Gaza.,” the organisation said, noting that “One in four of these injuries are in children.”

WHO’s representative in the occupied Palestinian territory, Richard Peeperkorn, told a press conference: “Lifelong rehabilitation will be essential.”

Gaza’s already fragile health system has been pushed beyond its limits and is unable to cope with the overwhelming needs caused by the conflict. Only 14 out of 36 hospitals remain partially functioning, while rehabilitation services have been reduced to a third of their pre-war capacity.

French opposition party La France Insoumise (LFI) on Friday called on President Emmanuel Macron to expel Israel’s ambassador to France following the attack on Global Sumud Flotilla, Anadolu reports.

In an interview with broadcaster RTL, LFI parliamentary leader Mathilde Panot “solemnly called on Emmanuel Macron to expel the Israeli ambassador to France.”

Underlining that it is “not acceptable” to host the representative of a state “committing genocide,” Panot said that the Israeli ambassador “has no place” in France anymore.

“It is no longer acceptable to allow on our soil a representative of a state that has, on three occasions, illegally kidnapped a legitimate mission,” she said.

Panot further said that France “is doing absolutely nothing” to protect the flotilla.

Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Thursday and Friday, and detained more than 450 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave.

The flotilla is an international initiative to break the blockade on Gaza, home to nearly 2.4 million people, imposed by Israel for almost 18 years.

Since October 2023, Israeli bombardments have killed nearly 66,300 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the enclave and rendered it uninhabitable.

Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister Yolanda Diaz urged Europe on Friday to terminate all association agreements with Israel, Anadolu reports.

“I am sending a message to the international community, essentially to Europe. We want more. All association agreements with Israel must be completely broken off,” Diaz told reporters.

Stressing that Israel violates international law, she noted that the European community looks the other way.

“The European community did what it had to do under international law when (Russian President) Putin illegitimately invaded Ukraine, and we sanctioned Russia. In Gaza, should we not do the same? Well, we believe we should,” Diaz added.

She also demanded the immediate release of Spanish citizens detained by Israel following its attack on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla.

“I truly believe our country is exemplary. Exemplary. Just yesterday, people took to the streets to demonstrate everywhere,” she said, adding: “All of Europe is mobilizing—but there cannot be such a wide gap between the people and the European Commission.”

Israeli naval forces attacked and seized vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla on Thursday and Friday and detained more than 450 activists from over 50 countries. The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and challenge Israel’s blockade of the enclave.

Palestinian militant group accepts part of US president’s plan but seeks further negotiations on many terms

Donald Trump ordered Israel to “immediately” stop bombing Gaza as he welcomed Hamas’s partial acceptance of his ultimatum to end the nearly two-year war.

Hamas has agreed to release all hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, as well as surrender governing power in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Trump’s plan.

In a statement on Friday evening, the Palestinian militant group asked for further negotiations on other parts of the plan, and did not say whether it would lay down its arms – a key part of Trump’s proposal unveiled on Monday.

Despite the qualified response by Hamas, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE.

“Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that.

“We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.”

In a brief video message posted separately Trump said it was a “very special day” and added that “Everybody will be treated fairly.”
