Amman: The death toll of journalists has risen to 140 since the beginning of the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the government media office in Gaza.

Earlier, the media office accused the occupation of deliberately killing journalists with the aim of suppressing the Palestinian narrative, attempting to suppress the truth and obstructing the delivery of news and information to regional and international public opinion.

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) had previously condemned the killing of journalists in Gaza, calling for protecting them from the violence of the occupation so that they could perform their work.

Nablus – Together – With the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, the Solidarity Charitable Association distributed food parcels to the families of orphans and humanitarian cases in Nablus Governorate with the support of philanthropists in the governorate, and as every year, the Association provides basic food supplies sufficient for one family for a period of time and collects them. In the form of a food basket, it is distributed to registered families.

There was an urgent need this year to increase and expand the amount of benefit in light of the difficult economic situation that the entire country is going through, which affected many families who lost their source of income, as there are many workers who have not received income for more than 6 months in addition to factory workers. Which closed its doors and many workers were laid off due to difficult conditions.

Maqbool said that the association aims to reduce the burden on these families by supporting them with food supplies that meet their needs,
as the number of food parcels provided reached more than 7,000 food parcels that were distributed to the families of orphans in the association and families of difficult humanitarian cases. The packages were distributed this year through several regions, and 7 purchasing centers were chosen in addition to meat centers so that the beneficiaries could choose their needs with their own hands and create a food basket that would suffice them and achieve the desired goal of the Ramadan charitable project carried out by the association.

The head of the Solidarity Charity Association said that the campaign included all the families of orphans in Nablus Governorate, with its villages and camps, registered with the association, in addition to thousands of humanitarian cases, according to pre-prepared lists within the association’s schedules, calling on the major companies operating in the region to contribute to providing ongoing assistance.

The president of the association and members of the administrative body exte
nded their thanks and gratitude to the people of Nablus Governorate for providing food parcels and for providing a helping hand and assistance to them in light of the difficult circumstances that the Palestinian people are experiencing.

Gaza – Together – The International Committee of the Red Cross said that Gaza’s hospitals have been turned into rubble and humanitarian workers are being killed.

She added, “Less aid and health care means less hope for Gaza, and every collapse in the health system is devastation for civilians.”

Since the outbreak of the war approximately 6 months ago, the Israeli army has launched a number of operations that targeted hospitals, medical facilities and the surrounding neighborhoods, accusing Hamas of using them as a cover for its activities. But the movement strongly denied that its fighters used Al-Shifa and other health facilities.

Regarding the situation of the rest of the hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Salah pointed out that ’30 hospitals were targeted.’
