The Israeli occupation continues its war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, with fresh attacks targeting civilians and medical facilities. On Sunday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that seven people were killed and several others injured in an attack on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.

Our correspondent added that the occupation forces are heavily bombarding the southern areas of Gaza City, with ongoing military operations in the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun and Tal al-Hawa.

These attacks come as part of the broader assault on central and southern Gaza, where residential areas and vital infrastructure have come under intense bombardment.

In the central Gaza Strip, Al-Awda Hospital announced it had received 20 wounded individuals, including two women, in the past 24 hours. The injuries resulted from "Israeli" airstrikes on the southern Gaza Valley area.

Medical facilities, already operating under extreme pressure, continue to be overwhelmed by the increasing number of casualties amid shortages of supplies and fuel. According to the latest figures published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression has risen to 61,897 martyrs, with 155,660 wounded since October 7, 2023.

The situation remains critical across the Gaza Strip as the occupation persists in targeting both densely populated neighborhoods and critical humanitarian infrastructure.

Gaza children still dying of starvation

On Saturday, Israeli occupation forces intensified attacks across the Gaza Strip, leaving dozens dead, including children, as UN agencies warned of a worsening humanitarian disaster marked by rising malnutrition.

Medical sources reported that two siblings, Mahmoud Suhail al-Dabba, 16, and his sister Hanan, 25, died on Friday after prolonged suffering from disability and malnutrition under the ongoing blockade on Gaza.

At Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, the bodies of six people arrived following an Israeli strike on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in the Zikim area, northwest of the blockaded strip.

In the al-Zaytoun neighborhood of southern Gaza City, Israeli forces destroyed several homes, while in central Gaza, six people, including four children, were killed when occupation forces bombed a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp. Another strike near Abu Helou school in the camp left one person dead and several injured.
