“Does anyone still remember me?”

- Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh

Amidst the rubble of Gaza, 17-year-old Yara Bassam Nasr wielded her pen as resistance. While bombs fell, she co-authored 'Gaza Held in Time', a searing testament to survival in the world's largest open-air prison.

Her school's pride echoes: ‘She didn’t write words, she wrote Gaza itself’.

Israel killed Yara just for being resilient.

On August 7, Genoa dockworkers blocked the Saudi ship Bahri Yanbu, refusing to load an Italian-made Oto Melara cannon and other arms bound for Israel.

The ship, from Baltimore, already carried weapons, explosives, armored vehicles, and tanks. About 40 workers boarded it, declaring, “We don’t work for genocide.” The blockade, led by USB and CALP unions with support from major federations, forced the Port Authority to agree to talks on creating a permanent arms-trafficking monitor.

It follows a July protest stopping military steel shipments to Israel, with unions calling such transport complicity in war crimes and the Gaza genocide, and vowing more actions before an international dockworkers’ assembly in September.

Gaza Civil Defense:

We urgently appeal to the World Health Organization to intervene immediately to save the lives of the people in the Gaza Strip and promptly provide the Directorate with fuel for ambulance and first-response vehicles.

We stress that every minute these vehicles remain immobilized, amid the ongoing Israeli genocide, will exacerbate the disaster and increase the number of killed and wounded.

After losing all her art supplies due to the ongoing aggression and siege, 23-year-old Palestinian visual artist Raghda Sheikh Al-Eid, who lives in a tent, now uses ash from wood-fired cooking pots as paint to create powerful artworks depicting hunger, poverty, and devastation.

Two-year-old Sham Qudeih is in a critical condition due to severe malnutrition and extreme dehydration, causing her body to become skeletal and her abdomen severely swollen.

Her weight has dropped far below the healthy range, and she has a high fever.

Doctors at Nasser Hospital warn that she urgently needs treatment abroad, as the hospital lacks the necessary equipment and medicines to properly diagnose and care for her.

Commercial Shipping Continues Amid Genocide

Despite the ongoing conflict, commercial shipping between the ports of occupied Palestine 🇮🇱 and the ports of Egypt 🇪🇬 and Turkey 🇹🇷 remains active. In the first week of August alone, 92 ships have made these journeys, highlighting the persistence of trade even under siege.

Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza

- 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli occupation military genocide campaign in Gaza.
- The U.S. continues to fund the genocide, providing over \$22 billion in support despite widespread allegations of war crimes and genocide.
- Israel’s bombardment has devastated Gaza’s animal wealth, destroying approximately 97% of livestock and working animals. This has further crippled transportation and food security in the Strip.

Healthcare System on the Brink

Mohammed Abu Salmiya, Director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex:
- All infant incubators in Gaza have been destroyed, endangering newborn lives.
- Medical services for patients and the wounded are nearly impossible to provide.
- Gaza’s healthcare system is experiencing near-total collapse, with diseases spreading due to accumulated waste, lack of clean water, and food shortages.
- Many kidney dialysis patients are dying daily from malnutrition and lack of medical supplies.

Burials Without Shrouds

For the first time since the escalation, Palestinians killed in Khan Younis are being buried without shrouds, as relentless bombing and siege have exhausted all supplies of coffins and burial materials.

Ongoing Violence and International Response

- 61 people were killed in the past 24 hours, including victims from earlier attacks.
- According to UNRWA, since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed the equivalent of an entire classroom of children every day—about 28 students daily—through ongoing genocide and starvation policies.
- Investigations reveal a pattern of Israeli occupation forces firing on starving Palestinians near aid sites, even those run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

Political and International Developments

- Donald Trump has nominated State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce as the next US Deputy Representative to the UN. Bruce is known for defending Trump’s Gaza policies, including the controversial aid distribution system.
- Retired Colonel Chris Romberg, a former British army officer, was arrested during a pro-Palestine demonstration. Romberg, who once worked in UK diplomatic posts near Israel, now calls for an end to UK cooperation with Israel’s occupation military and insists that Palestine Action is non-violent.

Doctors Without Borders and Humanitarian Testimonies

- Doctors Without Borders (MSF) reports indiscriminate violence by Israeli occupation forces and private American contractors against Palestinians at GHF aid sites.
- Dr. Mark Brawner, an American physician recently returned from Gaza, describes the crisis as “a large-scale genocide,” with deaths from starvation rising sharply and severe medical conditions rampant due to prolonged deprivation.

Escalation and Global Condemnation

- Israeli regime sources report two missiles launched from northern Gaza after sirens in Nahal Oz and Kfar Saad.
- Foreign ministers from eight European countries, including Spain, Norway, Ireland, and Portugal, have condemned Israel’s announcement to intensify its attack on Gaza.

Closing Statement

When dinner in Gaza is made of sand and dreams, the world must wake up. End Israel’s blockade. End Israel’s policy of starvation. Stop the genocide.
