While some were transported to partially functioning hospitals, many victims remain trapped beneath the rubble with rescue crews unable to reach them.

'Israel' issues new evacuation orders 

The Israeli army has ordered additional evacuations from areas in central Gaza, specifically from Deir el-Balah near Khan Younis.

These orders extend to large portions of what has been referred to as a "humanitarian zone", an area heavily crowded with forcibly displaced families.

Commenting on this issue, Hamas condemned the forced displacement of residents in northern Khan Younis and eastern Deir al-Balah, labeling it as "collective punishment" and a "continuation of genocide."

The movement accused the Israeli military of using displacement as a weapon against defenseless civilians, aiming to break their will and exacerbate an already dire humanitarian crisis.

Indonesian Hospital facing imminent shutdown

In a related development, the Indonesian Hospital is facing an imminent shutdown due to a critical shortage of diesel fuel. The hospital is expected to run out of diesel within hours, sounding the alarm for a potential humanitarian disaster. Essential services, including surgical operations and the intensive care unit, are at risk of coming to a complete halt.

The Israeli occupation army continues to commit heinous crimes against civilians in the Gaza Strip, including the crime of forced displacement of more than 1,700,000 Palestinian civilians.

The occupation has forcibly displaced them from their homes and neighborhoods under the threat of death, bombing, and the use of internationally prohibited weapons.

This act constitutes a crime against humanity and clearly demonstrates that the Israeli occupation is deliberately and systematically suffocating civilians and the Palestinian society in Gaza, confining them to a very narrow area that does not exceed one-tenth of the Gaza Strip.

Israeli genocide is ongoing 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a house in the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, resulting in several injuries.

In another development, an Israeli airstrike targeted land near Abu Nuweira School in the town of New Abasan, east of Khan Younis.

At dawn, dozens of civilians were killed and injured in the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, as per Palestinian media. Medical sources reported that the bodies of four individuals were reserved following continuous airstrikes northwest of Rafah city in southern Gaza.

In addition, dozens were injured when Israeli occupation forces fired on tents housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area, west of Rafah. 

IOF also targeted land in the al-Satar al-Gharbi area of Khan Younis, while artillery and missile attacks continued to hit residential areas in the town of al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, one civilian was killed and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike on a house belonging to the al-Khatib family in the Tal al-Zaatar area of the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.

In Gaza City, Israeli artillery fired shells at the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun, al-Sabra, and Tal al-Hawa, alongside live ammunition fired by Israeli military vehicles into the same areas.

An airstrike also targeted the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City. Additionally, dozens of civilians were injured when Israeli forces bombed the al-Salhi family home in the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, while airstrikes hit the vicinity of the al-Qastal Towers area, east of Deir al-Balah.
