Ali Salem – Gaza
BREAKING
Netanyahu in an interview with Radio South: We have completed 90% of the military work against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and there is still 10%, and I intend to crush them. Eisenkot wants to eliminate Hamas within 18 months!! This is a joke. He was the one who wanted to leave the Gaza Strip; Eisenkot supported withdrawing from the Strip and keeping only a narrow security belt. Israel changed the face of the Middle East and weakened Iran and its proxies, but there is still work to be completed. Eisenkot is Mansour Abbas, and Eisenkot is his friend Lieberman, and they are walking together; what matters to them is bringing down the right. Any potential partner in the next government will have to accept our principles, including the absolute rejection of establishing a Palestinian state and defining Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people.Martyrdom of the young man Mahmoud Khaled Al-Madhoun after succumbing to injuries sustained in an Israeli shelling last night on Sheikh Radwan neighborhood northwest of Gaza CityGaza Ministry of Health: Rates of malnutrition and starvation in the Gaza Strip have reached catastrophic levels, devastating children, the elderly, and vulnerable groups Gaza Ministry of Health: ▪Rates of malnutrition and starvation in the Gaza Strip have reached catastrophic levels, devastating children, the elderly, and vulnerable groups ▪Recording 466 deaths due to malnutrition and starvation since 2024, as the Strip enters its third year under a war that has made hunger a daily reality. ▪Expectations that more than 1.4 million citizens (67% of the population) will face food crisis levels or worse until the end of 2026, in continuation of the official declaration of famine in Gaza governorate in August 2025. ▪The death of 157 children due to malnutrition (representing one-third of total starvation deaths). ▪Recording 158,001 cases of acute malnutrition among children under five since 2024 until August 2026 (including 28,716 severe, life-threatening cases). ▪The mortality rate among children under five increased from 13.6 to 33.4 per 1,000 live births between 2022 and 2025, and 12.2% of children suffer from stunting. ▪74,200 children are expected to need treatment for acute malnutrition until April 2027. ▪The anemia rate among pregnant women rose to 61% in 2026 (after it was 41% before the war). ▪Recording nearly 4,000 pregnancy loss cases in the first half of 2026 (more than 3 times the previous six months). ▪One in three pregnancies is classified as high-risk. ▪The elderly make up the highest proportion of malnutrition deaths, with 189 elderly people (40.5% of total deaths). ▪11% of the elderly did not eat any meal during a full day, and 48% reduced their portions in favor of their families, while 68% stopped or reduced their medication doses because they ran out. ▪We affirm that the right to food is an inherent human right that does not fall away in war, and we call on the international community and the United Nations to: ▪Act immediately and urgently to ensure the entry of food, therapeutic supplements and medicines safely, sustainably, and without restrictions. ▪Give priority to children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the elderly. ▪Support and revive local food production in the Gaza Strip.
