According to the Palestinian Information Center, strikes targeted the Al-Baqa rest café along the coast, the Ashwaq residential tower in eastern Gaza, and a phone charging station near Abu Asi on Al-Wehda Street. Most of the casualties were women and children, including one journalist.

'Our teams are exhausted and working under extreme conditions,' he cautioned, describing the health system as near collapse. In a statement, Hamas urged Arab and Islamic countries, along with the international community, to intervene and stop what it called Israel's 'systematic ethnic cleansing campaign,' describing the strike on the crowded beach café as a 'massacre' of displaced civilians while accusing Israel of deliberately attacking shelters, aid centers, and residential neighborhoods. لحظة قصف طيران الاحتلال عمارة "أشواق" شرق مدينة غزة. — شبكة قدس الإخبارية (@qudsn) June 30, 2025 'These are clear war crimes happening in plain view,' the group charged, demanding global powers rein in what it described as Netanyahu's reckless and lawless campaign after nearly 20 months of relentless bombardment.

Malnutrition kills 66 children in Gaza
Shafaq News – Gaza At least 66 children have died from malnutrition in Gaza, with restrictions on aid deliveries continuing, the Health Ministry in the enclave reported on Saturday. Access to food, clean water and medical supplies remains severely limited across the territory, where thousands of children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

Palestinian CPI surges 23.59% in May, driven by Gaza's 43.21% spike
Ramallah – Saba: The Palestinian Consumer Price Index (CPI) dramatically increased by 23.59% in May, primarily due to a sharp 43.21% rise in the Gaza Strip compared to April 2025. In contrast, al-Quds saw a marginal 0.09% decrease, and the West Bank a slight 0.05% decrease. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) attributed Gaza's surge to the renewed Israeli aggression and limited commercial truck entry, which caused a severe shortage of essential goods like chicken, meat, and dairy products throughout May. The PCBS noted that Gaza's price fluctuations are directly linked to aggression and crossing movements, rather than typical market factors, significantly impacting the overall Palestinian index. Given these sharp regional variations, the PCBS emphasized that the overall Palestinian average index for this "exceptional period" cannot accurately represent changes across all regions, urging a focus on regional cost-of-living data. Comparing May 2025 to May 2024, the overall CPI in Palestine rose by 47.57%, with Gaza experiencing a staggering 101.42% increase, while Jerusalem and the West Bank saw more modest rises of 1.31% and 0.87%, respectively.
