Palestinian Civil Society Organizations Invite Witkoff to Visit Gaza Hospitals
Palestinian civil society organizations have invited US envoy Steve Witkoff to visit hospitals in Gaza, which have partially resumed operations after their destruction. These hospitals are overcrowded with starving patients.
In a letter sent to the US envoy on Friday, the organizations explained that hospitals are suffering from a severe shortage of medicines, health supplies, and medical and technical staff.
They called on Witkoff to visit sewage plants and water wells, which the enemy has not allowed to operate, given its deliberate policy of spreading disease and epidemics, as well as depriving people of water, a historical precedent that even barbarians and Nazis would not have dared to undertake.
They invited him to meet with 5,000 children who have lost limbs as a result of the bombs and missiles his administration provides to the Israeli enemy, and with tens of thousands of orphans and widows.
The organizations affirmed their rejection of this visit, as long as its sole purpose is to improve the image of the enemy and to take a snapshot to change the mood of international public opinion, which has come to realize the truth that you have long tried to conceal. She noted that 1,200 Palestinian citizens have been killed in front of these centers since they began operating, by soldiers stationed in their vicinity.
She said, "His visit must culminate in an announcement of the closure of these centers, which have become detention and mass killing camps. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation must then be held accountable for presenting a horrific image of the concept of food, aid, and humanity as a whole."

Al-Dameer: 54 Palestinians Still Missing Near Aid Centers in Gaza
Gaza – SABA The Palestinian human rights group Al-Dameer Foundation reported Sunday that 54 Palestinians remain missing after heading to Israeli-American aid distribution points in Gaza. The foundation said in a press statement that Israeli forces have not disclosed the fate of those individuals, and they are currently listed as missing persons. According to Safa News Agency, the number of such cases continues to rise, especially near aid zones that have become targets of frequent attacks. The organization warned that lack of safe aid distribution mechanisms is contributing directly to the increase in disappearances. It further revealed that Israeli forces are preventing retrieval of bodies from around these centers, and in some cases, resort to bulldozing them rather than allowing families or rescue teams to collect the dead. Al-Dameer also documented arbitrary detentions, including children, among those waiting for humanitarian aid. Earlier today, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that the total number of 'Aid Victims'—civilians targeted while queuing for food—has now reached: 1,487 fatalities 10,578 injuries since May 27, 2025. These figures are part of the broader toll of Israel's ongoing war on Gaza, which, as of August 3, has killed 60,839 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and wounded 149,588 others. Thousands remain under rubble or inaccessible due to the ongoing attacks and siege on rescue efforts. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Yemen's Houthis claims Triple Drone Strikes on Israeli Targets
Sana'a — Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for three coordinated drone attacks targeting strategic sites across Israel, marking a significant escalation in their military campaign linked to the ongoing Gaza conflict. According to Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operations struck Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, using unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Yemen. Saree stated that all three attacks 'successfully reached their goals,' describing them as part of the group's continued support for Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting at least one drone over southern Israel, while local media reported explosions near key infrastructure sites. No casualties have been officially reported, but investigations are ongoing. These strikes come amid the Houthis' broader campaign to disrupt maritime traffic linked to Israel. The group has previously targeted commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, warning that any company dealing with Israeli ports could face attacks.
