The Gaza Health Ministry announced in its daily report that 62 Palestinians were killed and 253 others were injured as the IOF committed six massacres across the Strip over the past 24 hours. 

This raises the death toll to 46,707 Palestinians killed and 110,012 injured since October 7, 2023. 

Since the early hours of Wednesday, 26 Palestinians were killed, 17 of whom in central and southern Gaza, as the Israeli occupation's genocidal war persists for the 467th day. 

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza, five Palestinians were injured, one critically, after an Israeli drone strike targeted a group of people in the western area of Kaf Mawarej in Rafah, southern Gaza.

Five others were killed, including a woman, and four were injured when the Israeli occupation bombarded a home in the al-Nasr neighborhood in northern Rafah. Additionally, an Israeli drone strike killed two Palestinians in Khirbet al-Aadas in Rafah.

In Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, 11 Palestinians were killed and others were injured, most of whom critically, in an Israeli airstrike on a home in al-Baraka street, while two others were martyred in a strike on another house. 

Seven citizens were martyred, and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house south of Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip. Additionally, a man and his wife were killed, and others were injured following an airstrike on a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp.

In Gaza City, seven citizens were martyred, and others were injured in an airstrike targeting al-Farabi School, which shelters displaced people on al-Yarmouk Street.

Similarly, an airstrike on al-Ahli Club, which also houses displaced people in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, north of Gaza City, resulted in the martyrdom and injury of several citizens.

Over a million Gaza children suffering mental health crisis: UNICEF

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has raised the alarm over the mental health crisis affecting nearly all 1.1 million children in the Gaza Strip as a result of the ongoing Israeli war in the blockaded territory.

In a report released Sunday, UNICEF revealed that Gaza’s children are grappling with nightmares, severe anxiety, and paralyzing fear caused by the relentless Israeli bombardments, the loss of family members, and the worsening humanitarian crisis.

The report also noted that at least 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned since the war started in October 2023. Mental health experts warn that the profound psychological effects of the war on these children could linger for generations.

This comes shortly after a recent study uncovered the harrowing impact of "Israel's" war on Gaza’s children, revealing that an overwhelming 96% feel their death is imminent, and nearly half wish for it as an escape from their trauma.

With symptoms ranging from nightmares to aggression, the psychological toll is unimaginable. Experts warn that the ongoing Israeli atrocities risk shaping a future defined by deep-rooted psychological scars.
