Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Monday that Israeli attacks killed at least 61 Palestinians and wounded 220 over the previous 24-hour period as the IDF continues its heavy assault on Gaza City and attacks elsewhere in the Strip. The ministry also announced that two hospitals in Gaza City — the al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital and Gaza City’s Eye Hospital — were put out of service due to Israeli attacks in the area. Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 30 people had been killed by the IDF in Gaza City so far on Monday. Famine has been officially declared in Gaza City by UN and US-backed hunger monitors, and they have warned that it was expected to spread to central southern Gaza by the end of September. The Health Ministry said that its violent death toll since October 7, 2023, has reached 65,344, and the number of wounded has climbed to 166,795.
