GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center)The Israeli occupation forces continue their genocidal war on Gaza, now 588 days since the start of the aggression. It has been 60 days since Israel resumed its full-scale assault, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s withdrawal from a ceasefire agreement, with direct military and political backing from the United States, amid unprecedented international silence and failure to act.
According to PIC field correspondents, Israel has launched dozens of airstrikes across the Strip. At the same time, the continued ban on basic food supplies since March paints a grim picture of worsening famine among Gaza’s population.
