Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 60,000 as Hunger and Bombings Intensify
In Gaza right now, the humanitarian crisis has reached a terrifying peak. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, more than 60,000 Palestinians have now been killed since Israel launched its military offensive on the Strip. And despite some recent announcements of “humanitarian pauses,” the violence hasn’t stopped. Just on Tuesday, at least 62 people were reported killed across Gaza—including 19 people who were simply trying to receive aid.
The most heartbreaking part? A large portion of the casualties continues to be women and children. One particularly devastating report from Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza described a newborn who was delivered through emergency surgery after an Israeli strike killed his seven-months-pregnant mother. Tragically, the baby didn’t survive.

Although Israel recently introduced limited pauses—about 10 hours a day in areas like Gaza City and Khan Younis—to allow humanitarian aid to reach desperate communities, these breaks in the fighting have proven to be both insufficient and inconsistent. Airstrikes have continued outside those time windows, and even during the so-called pause hours, civilians have been caught in deadly attacks.
To make matters worse, access to food is now a matter of life and death. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a global hunger watchdog, has warned that Gaza is now experiencing the “worst-case scenario of famine.” Starvation isn’t just a threat—it’s already happening. Aid airdrops, which are meant to provide relief, have instead created chaos, with crowds scrambling in desperation and some people reportedly being killed near aid distribution sites.
There’s mounting international pressure, especially from humanitarian groups and even some of Israel’s allies. Images of malnourished children have made headlines around the world, prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to call them “terrible.” Still, aid remains restricted. Fuel, food, and medical supplies were completely halted in March as part of an effort to pressure Hamas to release hostages. Though some restrictions were eased in May, the delivery system—both via land and airdrop—remains deeply flawed and dangerous.
The grim reality is that almost everyone in Gaza now depends on aid. And that aid is not getting to them reliably or safely. Some people have risked—and lost—their lives just trying to access food or basic necessities. Several strikes have occurred near aid distribution points, including one that killed seven people and injured 20 others, according to Awda Hospital in central Gaza.
This is no longer just a warzone—it’s a humanitarian catastrophe. And while political discussions drag on and military operations continue, ordinary Palestinians are bearing the full weight of it all—starving, grieving, and trying to survive amid constant bombardment.
