On the 148th day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported 10 massacres against families in the region. The tragic toll includes 92 martyrs and 156 injuries within the past 24 hours alone.

Compounding the devastation, some victims are still trapped under rubble and on roads, with the Israeli occupation hindering the arrival of ambulance and civil defense teams.

The overall impact of the Israeli aggression has now surged to a grim total of 30,320 martyrs and 71,533 injuries since October 7th of the previous year. The situation remains dire as Gaza faces continuous challenges amidst the ongoing conflict.

The Israeli occupation, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, killed 20 Palestinians and injured dozens as the Israeli occupation forces targeted an residential building west of Jabalia Camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

The correspondent also reported injuries among a group of farmers in the north of Beit Hanoun, north of Gaza after they were targeted by the IOF.

Moreover, our correspondent indicated that an Israeli drone targeted a civilian car in the vicinity of the Al-Salah Association in Rafah, resulting in several injuries, and the wounded were transported to Al-Kuwait Specialized Hospital.

Several media outlets demand journalist protection in Gaza

More than 30 news organizations have signed an open letter expressing solidarity with journalists working in Gaza and demanding their safety and freedom to report.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) coordinated the letter, which was signed by global news agencies AFP, AP, and Reuters, as well as prominent media publications such as The Guardian, The New York Times, BBC News, and other outlets.

The letter explained that journalists and media workers in Gaza for almost 5 months have "overwhelmingly" been the main source of reporting in occupied Palestine and have been operating in "unprecedented conditions".

The CPJ reported that at least 89 journalists and media workers in Gaza have been murdered during the war on Gaza.
