The Israeli Occupation's aggression against Gaza has stretched into its 195th day. Recent hours have seen raids on Gaza areas, with Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) extending their presence into the Central Governorate towards the east of Deir al-Balah camp where they faced resistance from Palestinian forces.

Despite enduring systematic violence and deprivation, Palestinians, after nearly 200 days of aggression, continue to persevere amidst the hardships of daily life.

Videos circulating on social media depict Gazans seeking refuge at Deir al-Balah beach to escape the intense heat of summer and the lack of adequate shelter.

Hebrew Channel 13 said that 7,200 individuals have been admitted to rehabilitation facilities since the aggression's onset, with a third experiencing psychological trauma.

Hebrew Walla reported that due to the ongoing war in Gaza, 60 new cases of disability are registered daily.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refuted claims of famine in Gaza, despite ongoing reports of suffering and the risk of famine for its 2.2 million residents.

Netanyahu dismissed UN warnings, stating, "We reject the assertions of international organizations regarding famine in Gaza," during a meeting with the foreign ministers of Britain and Germany.

The World Food Program highlighted the dire situation, particularly affecting children in northern Gaza, where malnutrition and dehydration lead to agonizing deaths. Meanwhile, the Israeli Occupation obstructs relief efforts.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, in a preliminary count, reported 33,899 fatalities and 76,664 injuries since the aggression's outbreak in October.
