Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza City, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported. Meanwhile, a child succumbed to injuries sustained in an earlier bombing that struck a gathering near a junction in the western part of the city. Additional injuries were reported following a strike on Al-Shawa Square in the al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza.

The Israeli military also conducted widespread demolitions in southern Gaza City, accompanied by intense artillery shelling and air raids on southern al-Zaytoun.

In the central Gaza Strip, two starved Palestinians seeking aid were killed in a strike near the Netzarim corridor. Separately, Israeli gunfire near the Kissufim settlement east of Deir al-Balah claimed the life of one Palestinian and wounded others from a group securing humanitarian assistance.

In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the enclave, seven bodies of martyrs were transferred to the Nasser Medical Complex. Among the bodies were three Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes that brutally targeted the city center, which was also subjected to heavy artillery shelling.

Dozens of wounded Palestinians, most of them aid seekers, also arrived at the complex after coming under Israeli fire near the Morag corridor north of Rafah.

Philip Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said the agency, like other non-governmental organisations, has also been banned from bringing in aid to Gaza for over 5 months now.

In a post on X, he noted: “Our warehouses in Egypt and Jordan are full of food, medicine, and hygiene supplies enough to fill 6,000 trucks.”

Lazzarini echoed the appeal of other NGOs, urging for a ceasefire in Gaza and for UN-managed aid to be allowed in, stating: “We join the NGOs to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and for aid to be allowed in, managed by the UN system, including UNRWA.”

In a related development, the human rights agency issued a warning that people with disabilities in Gaza are facing severe daily obstacles in accessing essential services amid the ongoing Israeli assault and blockade.

Surge in deadly antibiotic-resistant diseases

On a related note, Gaza is facing a new health emergency as antibiotic-resistant diseases spread rapidly across the devastated territory, according to new research.

With medical supplies critically low, over 150,000 injuries, and widespread malnutrition, the presence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria is set to cause longer illnesses, faster disease transmission, and more deaths, experts warn.

The findings, published on Tuesday in a peer-reviewed commentary in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, mark the first research since the war began in October 2023 to document the prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in Gaza.

“This will mean longer and more serious illnesses and a high risk of transmission to others. It means an increased risk of death from really common infections. It means more amputations. It’s a horrible picture,” Krystel Moussally, Epidemiology Advisor to Médecins Sans Frontières, said.
