The Ministry of Health in Gaza has released its daily report, marking the 378th day of ongoing Israeli aggression in the strip.
In the past 24 hours alone, the Israeli occupation has carried out four massacres against families in Gaza, resulting in 62 martyrs and 300 injuries.
Many victims remain trapped under rubble as Israeli forces continue to bombard affected areas, preventing ambulances and Civil Defense teams from reach them.
Since the war began over a year ago, the total number of martyrs has now reached 42,500, with injuries totaling 99,546.
'Israel' shelled northern Gaza throughout the night
Earlier on Friday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the Strip reported that the Israeli occupation heavily shelled various parts of northern Gaza throughout the night.
Our correspondent stressed that the occupation forces were preventing essential aid trucks and deliveries from entering the North, as well as impeding rescue and medical operations for Palestinians injured in the aggression.
