A teenager who went in search of food, an eight -year -old girl living in a camp for displaced Palestinians, and a person who tolerates the months of malnutrition is among those who have been killed in Gaza in the last week.
On Thursday, the Hamas-Interested Health Ministry registered two new deaths due to malnutrition in the last 24 hours, as the aid agencies warned that the siege of Israeli’s Gaza had spread throughout the region due to “massive starvation”.
An Israeli government spokesperson denied that Hamas was convicted for making food shortage and kidnapping assistance.
With the UN warning that human conditions in Gaza are breaking at a “speed” speed, and the World Health Organization said that at least 10% of Ghazans are completely malnourished, BBC is talking to people about lost loved ones in the last week.
Abdullah Jandia, 19 years of age
His sister Nadrin says that nineteen -year -old Abdullah Umar Jandia died on Sunday, 20 July.
He was living in his mother’s damaged house in Al-Sabra in Central Gaza.
“He was impatient to eat and bring something that day,” says Nadrin.
“I told him,” Just eat some pulses left by us, “but he refused.”
She says that on 16:00 (13:00 GMT), Abdullah left the house to walk more than 5 km (3.1 mi) north of an upcoming truck weekly to get a few kilograms of flour to feed the family. He was with his two brothers and some in -laws.
Around 23:00 pm that night, one of the brothers, Mahmood called Nadrin to tell that when he was waiting with help, Israeli soldiers suddenly set fire to him.
They were in the Netzerim Corridor – a military area that was cutting from the north of the Gaza strip from the south.
Mahmood told Nadrin that Abdullah was killed and he and another brother were injured.
She says, “She was a pleasure to be kind and fun at the same time,”
“He loved football and sports.”
She says that Abdullah worked with local groups, helped him carry fruits and vegetables and “dreams of opening a new business after the war”.
In response, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) stated that it was working to eliminate Hamas’s military capabilities and took possible precautions to reduce civil loss.
It said that it can better address your query when it is “able to provide coordinates” for the location of the event.
Gaza’s Hamas-Run Civil Defense Agency said that a total of 93 people were killed by the fire of Israel and dozens of more injured in Gaza that day, mainly near the aid points.
Speaking of a specific incident in Northern Gaza, the Israeli army stated that the soldiers stalked the warning shots on a mob “to remove an immediate threat” but disputed the numbers killed.
Sela Mahmud, 8
Eight -year -old Sela Mahmood was killed in the early hours of Tuesday morning, saying his mother Al Shahda.
The little girl was living in a camp for people displaced in Al-Shati in North Gaza with her mother and two elder sisters, 14 and 13 years old, and younger brother, six.
On Monday evening, Ala says that she and her 13 -year -old daughter, Zikim Ed Point, a few kilometers away, left behind, leaving behind the other three children.
But at around 01:45, he heard the voice that he thought he was firing in a distance and was suspected to be the worst immediately.
“I felt a strike in my heart. My intuition as a mother told me that this strike reached my children.”
With the help of strangers, Ala succeeded in calling his elder daughter back to the camp, which confirmed that he was killed and Sela was killed.
“My heart was broken,” says Ala.
The other two children survived but were seriously injured and Gaza’s al-Shifa is in the hospital, she says.

Ahmed Alhasant, age 41
Ahmed Alhasant, 41, died on Tuesday, July 22.
His brother, Yehia Alhasanta says, “Malnutrition killed him – day -day, he was getting more and more spoiled”.
Yehia says that after blocking the assistance in Gaza in March, his brother started becoming unwell. Since May, the Israel has been allowing some help in the region, but support groups say it is nowhere.
For three months, Ahmed, who was also diabetes, was not able to get enough food or drink, was relying on a piece of bread and sometimes canned food, Yehia.
As a result, his weight fell to 35 kg from 80 kg (12 stone 8LBs) and his health deteriorated rapidly, says Yehia.
“His speech was slow and sometimes we could hardly understand him,” Yehia says.
Ahmed’s cousin, Rehfat Alhasant, says that the family took him to the hospital, but “he will tell us that he needs drugs ‘needs food’. So we took him back home.”
Yehia says that Ahmed, who used to install television satellites and was a football fan, “died peacefully” in his house in Deer Al-Balah city at the center of Gaza.
Yehia said, “He had a strong personality and was one of the kind people you could ever meet.”
Mohammad Kullab, 29
29 -year -old Mohammad Kullab was killed in an airstrike on 22 July according to his brother -in -law.
Amar Ragaida says that Mohammad was resting in his tent in a camp for the Palestinians displaced in the Al-Kadia region of Western Khan Younis in Dakshin Gaza, when an air attack took place between 17:00 and 18:00 local time.
Amar says, “He was on his own. We heard that he was killed a few hours after the bombing when some people called his sister and informed him about his death.”
Amar says that he spoke to Mohammed a day before he died – he collided with each other in search of help.
“He said to me,” Don’t go on my own, I will try and get you some flour. The next day, he died. “
Mohammed leaves a sister and a younger brother, who completely depended on him, says Amar.
“Kullab was a respectable young man who was full of life. He would not engage himself in any unnecessary issues and all the people around him loved him,” he says.
In response, the IDF stated that it “takes possible precautions to reduce civil loss” and would require coordination of the place where he died to look forward to his case.
