JAKARTA - Gaza health officials have warned of the potential "mass death" in the coming days due to rising hunger.

Currently, 19 people have died since Saturday last weekend, according to the Gaza health ministry, reported by Reuters on Monday, July 21.

Health officials say hospitals run out of fuel, food aid, and medicines, which are at risk of stopping vital operations.

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health, Khalil Al-Deqran, said medical staff depend on one meal a day, and hundreds flock to hospitals every day, suffering from fatigue and fatigue from hunger.

At least 67 people were killed by Israeli fire on Sunday, July 20, as they waited for UN aid trucks to enter Gaza.

The Israeli military said its troops had fired warning shots at crowds of thousands of people in northern Gaza to expel what it called a "direct threat."

New attacks and rising fatalities seem to complicate the ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel mediated by Qatar and Egypt, with US support.

A Hamas official told Reuters on Sunday the militant group was outraged by the increasing death and hunger crisis in the region.

This condition could have a bad impact on the ongoing ceasefire negotiations in Qatar.

Israel and Hamas were involved in indirect negotiations in Doha aimed at reaching a 60-day ceasefire and a hostage-taking deal, although there were no signs of a breakthrough.
