The Israeli occupation continues its genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, killing over 40 people in the besieged territory, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Our correspondent said that the bodies of more than 40 martyrs arrived at hospitals for burial on Wednesday, across the Gaza Strip.

In the northern towns of Beit Lahia and the Jabalia refugee camp, Israeli artillery shelled residential areas, as local media reported on the Israeli demolition of several buildings in the northern Gaza Strip.

Moreover, a martyr and five wounded individuals were transferred to the al-Awda Hospital, after Israeli occupation forces targeted the Tal al-Zaatar area in Beit Lahia.

Our correspondent also reported that the center of the al-Bureij refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip, was targeted by an Israeli drone.

Israeli airstrikes also killed two people after striking an area where citizens are gathered in southern Khan Younis. Buildings were also demolished in eastern Rafah.

Health authorities in Gaza said that the toll of the Israeli aggression has risen to 44,282 martyrs and 104,880 injured individuals since October 7, 2023.

55 days of northern Gaza's siege

Amid the systematic Israeli plot of ethnically cleansing the northern Gaza Strip, the director of al-Awda Hospital Mohammad Salha confirmed that northern Gaza has been under siege for 55 days, and the hospital has been deprived of medical supplies, food, and fuel.

Salha said that "the occupation forces prevent relevant international organizations from delivering medicines, medical supplies, food, and fuel to the hospital," adding that the occupation emptied the medical supplies intended for the hospital during a Red Cross mission to transfer patients to hospitals in Gaza City.

It is worth noting that the United States vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution aimed at lifting the siege on the northern Gaza Strip and achieving a ceasefire in the territory, on November 20, after the move had garnered unanimous support across other members.
