Sharp rise in deaths: In just 24 hours, 26 Palestinians in Gaza have died due to starvation, lack of medical care by Euromed Human Rights Monitor

Palestinian Territory – Deaths among the elderly, children, and the sick in the Gaza Strip have increased alarmingly due to starvation, malnutrition, and lack of medical treatment, under living conditions created by Israel to exhaust the Palestinian population.

These conditions include intentional starvation, extreme suffering, and the systematic deprivation of healthcare, along with a total blockade—all part of an ongoing genocide campaign that has now entered its 19th consecutive month.

Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented the deaths of 26 Palestinians, including nine children, in just 24 hours. These deaths are the result of a deliberate Israeli policy that weaponises hunger and denial of treatment to kill Palestinian civilians. The tightened blockade, in place since 2 March, disproportionately targets the most vulnerable and turns the man-made humanitarian catastrophe into a central tool of extermination.
