640 Day of Genocide in Gaza: Over 57,000 Killed

Gaza, 7 July – (PIC): Today marks the 640th day of Israel’s continued military attacks on Gaza. The Israeli army is targeting hungry, injured, and displaced Palestinians with airstrikes and shelling. The situation is getting worse because of U.S. political and military support and global silence.

According to reports, Israeli forces carried out dozens of air attacks this morning. Many people were killed or injured, especially in areas where thousands of people have taken shelter and are facing famine.

• In Zaitoun (southeast Gaza), Israeli shelling hit a school, injuring several civilians.
• Near an aid center in Rafah, two people were killed and 20 injured by Israeli gunfire.
• In southern Khan Younis, a Palestinian man was killed near a slaughterhouse.
• Another man died in northwestern Khan Younis due to bombing.
• One more person, injured in a previous bombing, died today from his wounds.
• In central Khan Younis, two men were killed in another airstrike.
• A woman named Majda al-Najjar was killed in eastern Khan Younis. Her brother and two children are still trapped under rubble from their destroyed home.
• Many homes were destroyed in southern Khan Younis by Israeli forces.
• In al-Bureij camp, three family members, including a child, were killed in a house bombing.
• In southwest Gaza, a building in al-Zafir 2 Tower was bombed, killing one and injuring many.
• Four people were injured in Deir al-Balah during an attack on Abu Saleem family camp — one is in critical condition.
• After midnight, another airstrike hit eastern Gaza.

In the Rimal area, Israeli forces bombed a medical center, killing six people, including a newborn baby. Fifteen others were injured. The victims included a husband and wife, a baby, and other civilians.
