At least 46 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks, hospitals in Gaza say

Among those killed are over 30 people who were killed while seeking humanitarian aid, according to hospitals that treated dozens of injured.

The Israeli Army has not immediately commented on any of the attacks, but says it only targets militants and blames Hamas for civilian victims, since they say, Hamas militants operate in densely populated areas.

Deaths occurred at the time when the United Kingdom announced it would recognise the Palestinian state in September, unless Israel accepts a ceasefire in the battle with Hamas, following a similar statement by France's president.

Israel's Foreign Ministry said it rejects the British declaration.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza, Wednesday, also reported the deaths of seven other Palestinians, including a child as a lover of malnutrition.

Since the beginning of the war, 89 children have died of malnutrition in Gaza, reports REL, broadcast Periscope.

The ministry adds that 65 Palestinian adults have also died of malnutrition since late June, when it began recording deaths even among adults.

Hamas started the war with an attack led by militants south of Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and another 251 were kidnapped. About 50 hostages still remain in Hamas' hands, even though Israel believes more than half of them have died. Most of the others have been released during ceasefires or other agreements.

Israel's revenge campaign has killed over 60 thousand Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. That figure does not differentiate between civilians and militants. The ministry operates under Hamas' government.

The UN and other international organisations see it as the most reliable source of information on victims. /Periscope/
