The ministry reported in a statement that it had recorded five deaths due to famine and malnutrition within 24 hours, bringing the total number of famine victims to 447, including 147 children.
Since the IPC declared famine in the Gaza Strip on August 22, 2025, 162 deaths have been recorded, including 32 children.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army has killed 27 Palestinians, including four children, in separate attacks on the Gaza Strip since dawn on Sunday. This coincided with the detonation of booby-trapped robots targeting homes in the northern neighborhoods of Gaza City. The army renewed its warning to Palestinians to evacuate the city and head to the southern part of the Strip.
This comes as the Israeli occupation army continues its nearly two-year-long war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, and its efforts to reoccupy Gaza City and displace Palestinians from it.
Northern Gaza Strip
Israeli airstrikes focused on Gaza City, killing at least 14 Palestinians. In the al-Daraj neighborhood in the eastern part of the city, the Israeli occupation forces killed eight Palestinians and wounded dozens more after shelling a civilian gathering near the Hamza Mosque. Five others were killed in a shelling of the al-Haddad family home.
In the al-Tuffah neighborhood in the eastern part of the city, quadcopter drones fired at homes near the al-Aybaki Mosque and bombed other areas east of Gaza City, without causing any casualties.
In the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of the city, a Palestinian woman was killed and several others were injured when a civilian gathering was targeted. The situation on the ground remained difficult, with Israeli vehicles moving east of the al-Dahdouh roundabout under heavy fire, coinciding with ongoing artillery shelling and widespread bombing of homes and facilities.
In the evening hours, the Israeli occupation forces launched a series of air and artillery raids on homes in the Al-Shati refugee camp and the Sheikh Radwan and Tal Al-Hawa neighborhoods, north and south of Gaza City.
In the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of the city, the Israeli occupation army blew up residential buildings surrounding the intelligence towers and dropped flares, while displacement operations continued.
