The death toll in the Gaza Strip has not stop rising. Dozens more civilians were killed and wounded in the recent strikes of the Israeli military across the enclave.
At least 11 Gazans murdered, several more were wounded as a result of the Israeli airstrikes in northern Rafah. The death toll since dawn across Gaza raised to about 30 people after an Israeli air strike on an overcrowded area in Deir el-Balah city. A rocket fired by an Israeli fighter jet hit a refugee camp. The explosion claimed the lives of six people, reportedly including two newborn babies.
Israeli forces killed at least 10 Palestinians in the so-called “humanitarian zone” in Gaza’s al-Mawasi. An Israeli drone attack has hit a tent cafe.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 43,665 people have been killed and 103,076 wounded in Israeli military attacks on Gaza since October 7, 2023. Of those, 62 Palestinians were killed and 147 wounded in the latest 48-hour reporting period, the ministry added. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were taken captive.
The UN Human Rights Office has reported that 70% of those killed by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip are women and children.
Amid the ongoing indiscriminate strikes by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip, the dire humanitarian situation persists, caused by a shortage of medicines and food supplies. Tel Aviv is blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid. The World Health Organization has warned that healthcare conditions for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have deteriorated to an “apocalyptic” state.
Today, the military was forced to open one of the land crossings near Khan Yunis for several trucks with food, water, and medicines to move to the central and southern parts of Gaza. Israel did this under pressure from the United States. Washington threatened Tel Aviv that if the Israelis did not increase the flow of humanitarian aid to the enclave within 30 days, the Americans would limit the delivery of weapons and military equipment to the Jewish state. The White House also demanded humanitarian pauses and an end to the isolation of the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
