The Israeli occupation's genocidal onslaught in the Gaza Strip continues for the 444th day, resulting in massive losses across the entire territory, between killed, severely injured, and missing Palestinians, the overwhelming majority of whom are women and children.

Over the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed five massacres, murdering 58 Palestinians and injuring 86 others, raising the death toll to 45,317 martyrs with 107,713 injured, according to the daily report issued by the Health Ministry in Gaza. 

While several victims were transported to the partially functioning hospitals across the enclave, countless others remain trapped beneath the rubble, as rescue operations have neared impossible due to constant Israeli obstruction. 

'Israel' massacres, injures 50 Palestinians in Nuseirat

In the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the IOF committed a horrific massacre in its new camp, killing and injuring at least 50 Palestinian civilians, women, and children. 

Around 17 Israeli military vehicles and tens of occupation soldiers, accompanied by quadcopters and reconnaissance aircraft, raided the new camp in Nuseirat, bombarding and destroying more than 20 residential buildings, the Gaza Media Office reported. 

The Government Media Office condemned the "brutal aggression committed by the Israeli occupation army against the New Camp area in Nuseirat," asserting it as part of "the crime of genocide, systematic killing, destruction, and forced displacement against civilians." It called on "the entire world to denounce these compounded crimes committed by the occupation against our Palestinian people."

The office held the Israeli occupation, the US administration, and complicit countries, such as Britain, Germany, and France, fully responsible for the ongoing crimes, blatant violations, and the continuation of genocide in the Gaza Strip.

It urged the international community and global organizations to take urgent and effective action to stop the occupation's crimes and repeated violations, ensuring the protection of civilians, children, women, and public facilities.

Meanwhile, three Palestinians were killed and others were injured in airstrikes in easternmost Rafah and Khan Younis, southern Gaza. 

Since dawn, 16 Palestinians were martyred in the Israeli bombardment, 14 of whom were killed in southern and central Gaza.

Aggression on Kamal Adwan continues 

On Sunday night, Israeli tanks fired at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, directly targeting the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the birth suite, and the specialized surgery department. 

Hussam Abu Safiya, the hospital director, stated that patients were evacuated from hospital corridors. However, ammunition detonated inside the hospital, causing panic and fear among patients. 

He also revealed that the Israeli occupation intentionally targeted an electricity generator, setting it ablaze and putting it out of service. Attempts to bomb the fuel reservoir were also recorded but ultimately failed. 

Attacks on the hospital resumed throughout the night, while nearby houses and buildings were pulverized. The aggression extended to Monday morning when Israeli drones dropped bombs on the hospital roof and courtyards, jeopardizing its oxygen and fuel supply lines. Abu Safiya stressed that the situation was extremely hazardous, necessitating international intervention "before time runs out."

"Currently, we have 91 patients in the hospital, including the elderly, women, and children, and we are still providing basic services. But we have continuously asked for the protection of the international community and the opening of humanitarian corridors for aid provisions, however, up till this moment, we have received very little aid. We will continue to rally the international community to fulfill its responsibilities," Abu Safiya said.

He confirmed that the hospital faces daily threats, with ongoing shelling from all directions, affecting the building, departments, and staff, stressing the extremely dangerous and terrifying situation, and urging the world to understand that the hospital is being targeted with the intent to kill and forcibly displace those inside.

Abu Safiya called on the international community to urgently intervene and "stop the violent attack to protect the healthcare system, workers, and patients."
