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 35,303, in addition to 79,261 injured.

Additionally, it confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces committed four massacres in 24 hours only, killing 31 and injuring 56.

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

The genocide is ongoing

Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on various areas of the Gaza Strip for 224 days, resulting in more civilian casualties.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Gaza Strip reported on Friday that Israeli occupation forces continue to invade the Jabalia camp in the northern part of the Strip for the sixth consecutive day.

Our correspondent mentioned that continuous Israeli airstrikes have been targeting all areas of the camp since 2:00 am (local time), in addition to ongoing artillery shelling that has hit areas, west of the camp and in the vicinity of Kamal Adwan Hospital.

He also noted intense gunfire from occupation vehicles, which were expanding their incursion into the camp. The areas under Israeli fire have expanded to include al-Qassasib neighborhood, the vicinity of the Falouja cemetery, and the end of al-Houja Street.

Our correspondent also pointed out that the advancing occupation vehicles at the entrance to Beit Hanoun continued to besiege several residents and already forcibly displaced people, preventing them from leaving the area.

Furthermore, "Israel" launched a series of raids early this morning and Thursday evening on various parts of the northern, central, and southern sectors of the Strip, coinciding with artillery shelling.

Earlier, four Palestinians were killed and several others injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to local Palestinian media outlets.

Israeli warplanes targeted al-Jaouni School, which had been serving as a shelter for forcibly displaced people, resulting in the deaths of four people and injuries to others.

UN runs out of tents, food in southern Gaza due to Israeli blockade

Meanwhile, the occupation has closed down all crossings for over a week now, blocking all aid into Gaza, where Palestinians are already facing a spread of famine and hospitals are shutting down due to the lack of fuel, leaving tens of thousands of wounded at risk of dying. This included the recent occupation of the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

The United Nations has run out of tents and food to distribute to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, UN officials told The Guardian on Wednesday. 

UN officials reported that the agencies' warehouses, located south of the Netzarim Axis, which splits Gaza City and some towns from the rest of the Gaza Strip to the south, have been completely emptied and will not be resupplied if the Israeli occupation continues to block humanitarian routes. 

"There are no tents in humanitarian warehouses. There are also no stocks of food left with the World Food Programme or UNRWA [the UN agency for Palestinian refugees] south of the [river]," UN officials told The Guardian. 

The head of the Gaza sub-office of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Georgios Petropoulos, said that he expected food available on the market and what the organizations have distributed to be finished soon. The official warned that "time is running out," urging authorities to make available "a sustainable crossing open for predictable humanitarian supplies into southern Gaza."
