Israeli forces continued their relentless assault on the Gaza Strip on Friday, killing at least 83 Palestinians and wounding 554 others within 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The ministry confirmed that ambulance and civil defense crews are still unable to reach several victims trapped under the rubble and in the streets due to the ongoing shelling and dangerous conditions on the ground.

The ministry also indicated that the number of martyrs since March 18, 2025, has reached 9,163, in addition to 35,602 injuries.

Nasser Medical Complex reported on Friday that an Israeli airstrike struck tents sheltering displaced individuals in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis. The attack killed four people and wounded several others. In a separate incident near the Morag Axis south of the city, two people were killed and over 70 Palestinians seeking aid were injured by Israeli fire.
In another strike on the Ard al-Fara area south of Khan Younis, three civilians, including a child and a woman, were killed when tents for displaced persons were hit.
A drone strike on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza killed four people and left others injured, as "Israel" continues targeting areas housing displaced populations.
Amid these ongoing attacks, the Government Media Office in Gaza accused the Israeli occupation of deliberately engineering chaos and starvation. It reported that 104 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Thursday but were systematically looted under the direct supervision of the occupation forces.
The office emphasized that Gaza requires no less than 600 aid trucks daily to meet the basic humanitarian needs of over 2.4 million residents, including 1.1 million children who are being deprived of food and infant formula.
Describing the current situation as a "double crime," the media office called for the immediate and complete opening of all border crossings. It also urged that humanitarian aid be delivered under the independent supervision of the United Nations to ensure fair distribution and access.
