“140 Killed in Gaza as Fighting Rages; World Focuses on Israel-Iran Clash”
(Source: Reuters)
In just 24 hours, Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed at least 140 people, according to local health officials. Many Palestinians feel the world is forgetting their suffering as attention shifts to the new conflict between Israel and Iran.
What Happened?
- Airstrikes & Gunfire: Israeli strikes hit homes, refugee camps, and aid lines, killing dozens. At least 40 died in attacks on Wednesday alone.
- Starving for Aid: Many were shot while waiting for food trucks. Since late May, nearly 400 Palestinians have been killed trying to get aid, with over 3,000 wounded.
- “We Are Forgotten”: Gaza residents say their crisis is being ignored. “People risk their lives for food, only to die with flour sacks in their hands,” one man told Reuters.
Why Is This Happening?
- Israel says it’s targeting Hamas, not civilians, and is checking reports of aid-line deaths.
- Aid delivery is chaotic. The UN calls it “a disgrace”, while Israel blames Hamas for stealing supplies—which Hamas denies.
- Meanwhile, Israel’s new fight with Iran is stealing global attention.
The Bigger Picture
- War Toll: Since October 2023, nearly 55,600 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, says the health ministry.
- Genocide Claims: Israel faces accusations of war crimes but denies them.
- Iran’s Role: Iran backs Hamas, and some in Gaza hope its fight with Israel could help them—but many just want the war to end.
What People Are Saying
- “People are being slaughtered, but the world only cares about Iran now,” said a Gaza City resident.
- “We’re happy Israel is under attack, but Gaza is still suffering,” said a father of five.
Final Thought
While the world watches Israel and Iran trade strikes, Gaza remains in ruins. Will anyone remember the Palestinians still trapped in this war?
