The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza due to the Israeli genocidal war ongoing since October 7 has now reached 36,550, in addition to 82,959 injuries, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced Tuesday in its daily report.

Additionally, it confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces committed seven massacres across seven different families in the Gaza Strip, killing 71 and injuring 182 in 24 hours only.

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

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli occupation forces conducted a series of intense airstrikes and artillery bombardments, targeting multiple areas including Tel Al-Sultan, the western camp in Rafah, and neighborhoods in Khan Younis.

The Israeli artillery also targeted southern areas of the Sheikh Ajleen neighborhood in Gaza City, as per our correspondent.

Furthermore, airstrikes hit northern areas of the al-Nusairat camp and the vicinity of the city of al-Zahraa, southwest of Gaza City.

Tragically, three Palestinians were killed in the Saudi neighborhood of Rafah due to the Israeli bombing of a residential house.

Concurrently, four Palestinians were killed due to the Israeli bombing in the northeast of Rafah city.

With scarce fuel supplies in Gaza, UNRWA reported that essential desalination plants have ceased operations, exacerbating the region's water crisis.

In a post on X, UNRWA added that the shutdown of these plants has left residents with severely limited access to clean water, amplifying the struggle for survival. Families, including children, are forced to trek long distances in sweltering heat in search of water.
