Images of emaciated Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David fuel renewed calls to reach a truce and hostage release deal
The Palestinian Health Ministry have reported on Telegram that six adults have died within the past 24 hours as a result of famine and severe malnutrition.
According to the ministry, this brings the total number of deaths attributed to hunger related causes in Gaza to 175, including 93 children.
Videos published recently by Hamas and Islamic Jihad showing emaciated Israeli hostages are “appalling” and barbaric, EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas has said.
“The images of Israeli hostages are appalling and expose the barbarity of Hamas. All hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally. Hamas must disarm and end its rule in Gaza,” Kallas posted on X.
