Hospitals across Gaza have received 71 martyrs in the past 24 hours, including 14 bodies recovered from the rubble, as a result of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. Additionally, 153 people have been reported injured.
"Israel's" ongoing aggression has raised the total number of martyrs since October 7, 2023, to 52,314, with 117,792 injuries recorded. Since March 18, 2025, the toll stands at 2,222 martyrs and 5,751 injuries.
On Sunday, Israeli artillery shelled areas north of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, while ground forces opened fire toward eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, according to local reports. An Israeli Apache helicopter also reportedly fired on the eastern outskirts of the city.
Since dawn, at least 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting various locations across the Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported. An Israeli drone strike targeted the Saftawi cafeteria on Salah al-Din Street near the entrance to Nuseirat camp, killing seven people and injuring others.
In southern Gaza, five people were killed and several were wounded after an Israeli airstrike hit a house in Jurat al-Lut, south of Khan Younis. The attacks mark a new escalation in the ongoing genocide, with residential areas and public spaces heavily affected by the indiscriminate Israeli attacks.
Flour supplies depleted in Gaza: UNRWA
In a statement on Sunday, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that its flour supplies in the Gaza Strip have completely run out amid the ongoing, intensified Israeli siege and the continued blockade of humanitarian aid.
In a post on X, UNRWA confirmed that its flour stock had been depleted for days, adding that the World Food Programme also reported on April 25 that its food stocks in Gaza were entirely exhausted.
“#Gaza: children are starving.

The Government of Israel continues to block the entry of food and other basics.
A manmade and politically motivated starvation.
Nearly 2 months of siege.
Calls to bring in supplies are going unheeded.”

The UN agency highlighted that nearly 3,000 trucks carrying life-saving aid are still waiting for permission to enter Gaza, as the Israeli occupation continues to block the passage of humanitarian shipments through crossings since March 2.
