82 killed, 247 wounded in Gaza today amid ongoing Israeli assault
ALBAWABA- The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that 82 Palestinians were killed and 247 others wounded in the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip.
This comes amid what Palestinian officials describe as a continued campaign of "genocide" by Israeli forces.
Since Israel resumed its large-scale assault on March 18, the ministry states that the death toll has reached 7,200, with at least 25,615 others injured.
The overall toll since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, has now climbed to 57,800 Palestinians killed and 137,656 injured, according to official Gaza health data. — Anadolu English (@anadoluagency) July 10, 2025
A separate count by the health ministry highlights that 782 people have died and 5,179 have been wounded while awaiting humanitarian aid since May 27. In just the past day, nine Palestinians were killed and 78 injured under such conditions.
In a particularly grim development, the Gaza Government Media Office accused Israel of carrying out a "brutal massacre" at a makeshift medical point, where 15 people, including 10 children and 3 women, were killed. The office condemned the strike as yet another atrocity in a war that has now stretched over 21 months.
Yesterday alone, the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces stood at 105, with 530 wounded in what has become one of the deadliest phases of the conflict.
Meanwhile, international criticism of Israel's actions has been met with U.S. political backlash. The United States imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, after she released a report describing the situation in Gaza as an "economy of genocide."

The U.S. had previously sanctioned International Criminal Court (ICC) officials, including Prosecutor Karim Khan, following the ICC's decision to seek arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister for alleged war crimes.
In response to the U.S. sanctions, Albanese told MEE Live, 'Looks like I've hit a nerve,' adding, 'They're hitting me from all over with whatever means they have, instead of doing what I'm asking: for states and companies to comply with international law.'
Human rights advocates and international legal experts have raised alarm over what they describe as the U.S. systematic targeting of those attempting to uphold international law, underscoring growing global concern over impunity in the conflict.

At least 14 civilians killed in Israeli airstrikes on displacement camp in northern Gaza
Ammon News - At least 14 Palestinians were killed and 25 others injured, including women and children, in an Israeli airstrike targeting tents housing displaced families in the northern area of al-Shati Refugee Camp west of Gaza City, according to medical sources at al-Shifa Hospital. Doctors confirmed that the victims arrived at the hospital in the early hours of Tuesday following the bombing, which marks yet another deadly attack on civilians amid the ongoing war in the besieged enclave. The strike is part of the broader Israeli military offensive on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, and has so far resulted in 59,029 deaths — the vast majority of whom are women and children — along with 142,135 injuries, according to the latest figures from the Gaza Health Ministry. Many victims remain trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, as relentless airstrikes and the collapse of infrastructure continue to hinder rescue efforts. Heavy bombardments persist across the Gaza Strip, especially in areas densely populated with displaced civilians. The humanitarian situation remains dire, with severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. WAFA

AUB's Global Health Institute, in Partnership with WHO, Convenes Regional Dialogue on Advancing Refugee Sexual and Reproductive Health in the MENA Region
The Global Health Institute (GHI) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) held the closing event of the Self-Efficacy and Knowledge (SEEK) project as part of its Refugee and Migrant Health Program (RHP) under the theme 'Advancing Refugee and Migrant Health in the MENA Region'. The event brought together leading voices from local and international NGOs operating in Lebanon, alongside global and regional experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), the Lebanese Order of Midwives, the Ministry of Public Health of Lebanon, the Lebanese Association for Family Health (SALAMA), and AUB. The Self-Efficacy and Knowledge (SEEK) project is a community-led intervention, developed in partnership with WHO and supported by Elrha, designed to improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and well-being among refugee girls and young women. This is achieved through culturally sensitive, evidence-based education and psychosocial support delivered by trained refugee paraprofessionals. In his opening remarks, Dr. Fadlo Khuri, president of the American University of Beirut, described refugee health as one of the defining humanitarian crises of our time, requiring sustained, principled action. He emphasized that access to sexual and reproductive health is a right, not a privilege, especially for adolescent girls and young women displaced by conflict. Praising the SEEK project as a model of impactful, community-rooted intervention, he called for its lessons to be integrated into national strategies and long-term systems. Dr. Khuri also commended GHI for its leadership in refugee health through research, regional partnerships, and its commitment to collaboration grounded in trust and action. 'At AUB,' he concluded, 'we must continue to be active participants in shaping a healthier, more just future.' Following this, Associate Director of the Global Health Institute at AUB Nour El Arnaout, underscored that this moment marks more than the close of a project—it represents the beginning of a long-term, community-driven commitment to inclusive health, built on collaboration, meaningful impact, and a shared dedication to sustainability. Highlighting the SEEK project as a clear example, she spoke about GHI's mission of translating evidence into action, developing inclusive, digital, and community-rooted tools that advocate for a regional health agenda. Manager of the RHP program at GHI Rawad Malaeb, presented an overview of the Institute's portfolio of refugee health initiatives, including projects such as Sijilli, SEEK, MUH, and GAIN MHI, highlighting their commitment to high-impact, evidence-based interventions in partnership with local and international organizations. Research Consultant at GHI Hady Naal, then presented key findings from the SEEK project, which improved SRH and HIV knowledge, increased trust in healthcare providers, and enhanced well-being and coping skills among refugee girls and young women. The program's impact was sustained even in conflict settings, underscoring its potential for scaling and replication across fragile contexts. The event featured two panel discussions that examined both the realities and the opportunities for advancing SRH among refugee communities. The first panel, 'Mapping Realities', was moderated by GHI Associate Director Nour El Arnaout, and featured Dr. Christine AlKady, obstetricians team leader at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF); Dr. Michael Woodman, senior public health officer at UNHCR Lebanon; Dr. Rima Cheaito, president of the Lebanese Order of Midwives; and Wafa Kanaan, senior primary healthcare consultant at the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health. Panelists explored barriers to SRH access such as stigma, misinformation, legal insecurity, high costs, and service gaps, emphasizing the need for integrated care, antenatal support, and investment in equitable healthcare systems. The second panel, "From Implementation to Impact," moderated by Dr. Tania Bosqui, associate professor of clinical psychology at AUB, examined effective design and scale-up strategies for community-based SRH interventions, with a focus on the SEEK project. Panelists included Dr. Veloshnee Govender, WHO scientist; Dr. Hala Youssef, UNFPA regional SRH adviser; Dr. Gladys Honein, associate professor at the Hariri School of Nursing at AUB; and Lina Sabra, SALAMA executive director. Speakers highlighted co-creation with refugee communities, culturally sensitive delivery, and the importance of linking SRH to gender-based violence prevention services. They called for sustainable, government-led financing and stronger roles for local NGOs as co-leaders in health programming. A key highlight of the event was a short video showcasing SEEK's implementation, featuring testimonials from refugee girls and young women, along with insights from trainers, psychologists, and field coordinators. The event concluded with a call to carry SEEK's momentum beyond the project, emphasizing the need to embed its lessons into national strategies and policy.
