The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported 20 martyrs and 125 injuries in the last 24 hours due to the continued bombardment of the besieged Strip by Israeli forces.
The preliminary toll from dawn until now has reached at least 70 martyrs and dozens of injuries, a result of targeted attacks and massacres by occupation forces against civilian areas in Gaza.
In addition to the mounting casualties, victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, unreachable by ambulance and civil defense crews. The ongoing airstrikes have made it increasingly difficult for emergency responders to assist those in need.
Since the beginning of the aggression on October 7, 2023, Gaza’s death toll has tragically reached 52,928 martyrs, with 119,846 wounded. The toll since March 18, 2025, alone has reached 2,799 martyrs and 7,805 injuries.
The international community has expressed increasing concern over the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Calls for an immediate ceasefire and greater access for humanitarian aid to reach the Strip have intensified. However, the ongoing violence continues to impede efforts to provide relief and assist those trapped in the region.
IOF massacre at Gaza Hospital
In a new escalation of its ongoing war on Gaza, the Israeli occupation military committed a massacre at the Gaza European Hospital on Tuesday evening, targeting the facility and its surroundings in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, with a series of intensive airstrikes.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that the Israeli airstrikes struck multiple sections of the hospital, including the entrance to the emergency room, the courtyard between the maintenance and anthropology departments, and areas adjacent to two shelter centers: Ehsan al-Agha and Jenin.
The attack caused extensive destruction and resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, with bodies still trapped under the rubble.
