The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report today that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza due to the Israeli genocidal war ongoing since October 7 has now reached 34,488, in addition to 77,643 injuries.

Additionally, it confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces committed three massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, killing 34 and injuring 68 in 24 hours only.

The Ministry stressed that thousands of victims are still under the rubble and scattered on the streets, as the occupation forces continue to deliberately prevent ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them. 

The Gaza Government Media Office has reported extensive damage inflicted by Israeli aggression, revealing that 103 schools, 243 mosques, and 3 churches have been destroyed. Additionally, 32 hospitals and 53 health centers have been rendered inoperative over approximately 7 months.

Israeli genocide ongoing 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the eastern Bureij refugee camp came under heavy gunfire from Israeli occupation forces, coinciding with the firing of multiple artillery shells. He noted that the Israeli military also conducted an airstrike on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Our correspondent highlighted that Israeli naval vessels opened fire on the northwestern areas of Gaza City. Furthermore, the Israeli military carried out intense shelling on several locations in the northern Gaza Strip.

In a related development, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in Rafah resulted in casualties, intensifying concerns over civilian safety amid the Israeli threat of an imminent Rafah invasion.

Disturbing accounts also emerged of casualties, including children, following an airstrike on a building in Rafah. Meanwhile, our correspondent noted that Israeli warplanes have maintained a continuous presence in the skies over Rafah since the early morning hours, signaling ongoing military aggression and heightened tensions in the region.

Furthermore, Israeli artillery shelling in the eastern part of the Gaza Strip continues to impede access to the wounded, amplifying challenges for medical personnel and humanitarian responders in delivering aid to those in need.

In another development, Phillipe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, stated that extreme heat in Gaza has resulted in the fatalities of at least two children.

"We received reports that at least two children died due to the heat,” Lazzarini stressed in a statement.

“What more to endure: death, hunger, disease, displacement, and now living in greenhouses-like structures under scorching heat,” he heartfully stated.

"We have received reports of at least two children succumbing to the heat," stated #UNRWA, revealing the tragic toll of a heatwave in the Gaza Strip.
