In Gaza City, Israeli strikes also hit a tent sheltering displaced people and wounded at least 12 people, according to Shifa Hospital, while the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said two of the injured were in critical condition and most of those hurt were women.

The BBC and Al Jazeera both described the attacks as continuing despite the “ceasefire” that designated parts of the Strip as “safe zones,” with Al Jazeera saying Israeli forces kept attacking tents sheltering displaced people.

The Israeli military said it had targeted Hamas militants in both incidents, and it said it was not aware of uninvolved civilians being harmed in Gaza City.

Famine deaths and denials

In central Gaza, the BBC reported that the Health Ministry, controlled by Hamas, recorded two new deaths due to famine and malnutrition in the previous 24 hours on Thursday, July 24, 2025.

The BBC described Abdullah Jendeia, 19, dying on Sunday, July 20, after he went out to look for food, and it quoted his sister Nadreen recalling that he refused to eat the few lentils left.

The BBC also reported that a spokesperson for the Israeli government denied a “mass famine,” saying Hamas was responsible for the food shortage and for diverting humanitarian aid.

The BBC said the World Health Organization asserted that at least 10% of Gaza’s residents suffer from acute malnutrition, and it referenced a UN warning that humanitarian conditions in Gaza are deteriorating at an “accelerated” pace.

The BBC added that the Israel Defense Forces said they were acting to dismantle Hamas’s military capability and were taking all possible precautions to mitigate harm to civilians.

Safe zones, UN focus

Al Jazeera said the Israeli drone attack on Saturday killed 15-year-old Islam Moussa and her 30-year-old brother, Abdullah Moussa, and that Gaza’s civil defence recovered seven injured people from the attack site in al-Mawasi.

Al Jazeera also said Israel kept up its attacks despite the “ceasefire,” quoting Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum: “Maximum pressure has been a core tenet of the Israeli policy since the ceasefire was reached last year,”.

The article linked the renewed focus on child deaths to a United Nations report, which Al Jazeera said found children made up about 30 percent of those killed since the start of the genocide in October 2023.

Al Jazeera reported Gaza’s health ministry says Israel’s genocidal war has killed at least 73,043 Palestinians since October 2023 and wounded 173,417, and it added that Israeli forces have killed 1,031 Palestinians and wounded 3,309 since last October’s “ceasefire” began.
