Israeli airstrikes kill 72 more in Gaza as aid blockade worsens humanitarian crisis

Gaza, june 27, 2025 — Israeli bombardment of Gaza continues with no sign of relief, as another 72 Palestinians were killed in the latest round of airstrikes and shelling across several areas of the strip.

arab media reported that the attacks targeted heavily populated zones, including gaza city and the jabaliya refugee camp, where civilians—mostly women, children, and the elderly—had gathered in search of safety. the strikes flattened multiple residential buildings and disrupted already fragile relief efforts.

in a disturbing development, israeli forces also reportedly opened fire on crowds waiting for humanitarian aid in northern and western gaza. over the past week alone, the death toll from israeli attacks has risen to 549, with women and children making up a large share of the casualties.

the humanitarian crisis in gaza has deepened dramatically. due to a total blockade, no food, water, or medical supplies are reaching the population. hospitals are facing extreme shortages of medicine, clean water is nearly unavailable, and electricity has become a rare luxury—leaving the people of gaza in increasingly desperate conditions.

despite numerous appeals from the united nations and global human rights groups, the Israeli offensive shows no signs of slowing. aid groups warn that without immediate intervention, the already dire situation could become catastrophic.
