As July 7 marks nine months since the start of the war, the Israeli army is escalating its attacks day and night and continuing its strategy of starvation in the Gaza Strip.

At least 55 people have been killed in the past 24 hours, including 16 killed in an attack on the UNRWA Al-Jaouni School in Nuseirat, central Gaza.
An Israeli spokesman justified the attack by the alleged presence of Hamas militants, but the humanitarian organization indicated that at least 2,000 internally displaced people had taken refuge there.
In one of its attacks on Sunday, the occupation forces killed the deputy minister of labor in the enclave, Ihab al-Ghussein, according to media outlets affiliated with the Islamic Group.
For its part, the Ministry of Health in the Strip reported that the total number of injured had risen to 87,828, a number that is becoming more dangerous in the devastated area where most hospitals have stopped working.
Medical centers have stopped working, and the few that are still operating do so only partially and precariously, due to the continuous attacks and shortages of supplies, food, water, fuel and other items necessary for their service and survival, in the face of the total blockade imposed by Israel since last October.
