At least 87 Palestinians, including 52 aid seekers, have been killed and 644 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry, Al Jazeera reports.

The count includes eight people — one child and seven adults — who starved to death in the past 24 hours, it said, raising the hunger-related death toll to 188, including 94 children.

Eight bodies were also recovered from the rubble of previous Israeli attacks, the ministry statement said on Telegram.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 61,020 Palestinians and injured 150,671 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.

The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27, when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the controversial GHF, has reached 1,568, with more than 11,230 injured, the statement said.
