As a result of new Israeli strikes in Gaza, 25 people were killed

• As a result of Israeli strikes in Gaza, 25 individuals were killed, including women and children.
• There are reports of famine in Gaza, which threatens the lives of civilians.
• Israel denies accusations of famine, asserting that it allows humanitarian aid to enter.

On Saturday, September 23, 2025, as a result of Israeli strikes in Gaza, at least 25 people were killed, among whom were many women and children who were seeking shelter or hiding in basements. According to local medical sources, these strikes were part of an ongoing military operation by Israel, which has been ongoing for 22 months following the attack by Hamas on July 7, 2023.

Reports of famine, classified as integrated classification of food insecurity, have prompted the government and humanitarian organizations to call on Israel to halt its offensive operations. The organizations reported that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is deteriorating catastrophically, and the number of affected individuals could rise to 640,000 by the end of September.

Israel rejected the claims of famine as unfounded, asserting that it allows sufficient humanitarian aid to enter. However, international organizations report serious challenges with delivering aid to the most vulnerable segments of the population.

In Gaza, doctors note an increase in cases of severe malnutrition among patients. For instance, medical professionals have reported patients with visible signs of malnutrition, such as emerging children and emaciated infants. In hospitals, there is a lack of essential nutrients, which further exacerbates the situation.

On its part, the Israeli government is preparing for new offensive actions in Gaza, particularly in Gaza City, which remains a crucial stronghold for Hamas. It is expected that this could lead to new mass displacements of the population and worsen the humanitarian situation.

Diplomats continue to work towards achieving a ceasefire, but currently, negotiations are stalled due to the unresolved issues regarding Israel's future actions.
