Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip killed 215 more Palestinians within 24 hours, including 20 members of one family, said the health ministry of Palestinian.
Israel's aggression in Gaza — now in its 115th day — has killed at least 26,637 Palestinians and wounded 65,387, as intense battles continue in southern city of Khan Younis.
In a collective outcry against the suspension of funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), several aid organisations have voiced their deep concern over the perilous situation unfolding in Gaza.
The statement, signed by more than 20 organisations, warned of starvation, the looming spectre of famine, and the outbreak of diseases exacerbated by Israel's continued bombardment and deliberate obstruction of aid access in Gaza.
“We are shocked by the reckless decision to cut a lifeline for an entire population by some of the very countries that had called for aid in Gaza to be stepped up and for humanitarians to be protected while doing their job,” it said.
“This decision comes as the International Court of Justice ordered immediate and effective action to ensure the provision of humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza,” it added.

Saudi Arabia on Monday called on key donor countries to UNRWA to continue “supporting humanitarian missions” operating in the Gaza Strip after several countries announced they were halting funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.
Israel claimed that five of the agency’s staff members took part in Hamas’ Oct. 7 Al-Aqsa Flood operation, prompting countries like the US, Canada, Australia, Britain, France, Italy and Germany to stop their funding of the agency.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that “an independent investigation into these allegations shall come up with facts coupled with evidence, especially in light of the sacrifices made by UNRWA workers, (many of whom) were killed and injured as a result of the indiscriminate Israeli bombing of relief homes in the Gaza Strip and its surroundings.
“The Kingdom urges all supporters of UNRWA to carry out their role in supporting humanitarian missions towards Palestinian refugees inside the besieged Gaza Strip,” the statement added, stressing the importance of enabling the agency to continue its work to ensure “the provision of basic requirements for the Palestinians, (and) to mitigate the effects of the humanitarian crisis that is affecting them.”
On Friday, UNRWA said it had fired several people and promised a thorough investigation into the Israeli claims. Meanwhile, Israel has vowed to stop the agency’s work in Gaza.
