The Gaza Strip witnessed another bloody day as Israeli occupation forces intensified their raids across the territory, targeting the north, center, and south. According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent and a statement by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 79 Palestinians were martyred and 163 were injured in the past 24 hours alone.

The Ministry added that dozens of bodies remain trapped beneath the rubble amid heavy shelling, particularly in the northern areas, which continues to hinder access to hospitals.

Massacres reported 

In northern Gaza, Israeli drones and warplanes targeted multiple neighborhoods and camps.

A house in the Saftawi neighborhood was struck, killing several civilians. Another raid on the al-Sha'af area of the al-Tuffah neighborhood resulted in multiple casualties, while a separate attack was recorded in the Bir al-Na'ja area, west of Jabalia camp.

In the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, northwest of Gaza City, a direct airstrike on a house left several civilians injured. One of the most tragic incidents occurred in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, where occupation forces targeted a food pantry inside Shaaban al-Rayyes School, killing three civilians who had gathered for aid and injuring others.

In central Gaza, warplanes struck the al-Zahraa area, north of the al-Nuseirat refugee camp, killing two civilians. Meanwhile, in southern Gaza, Israeli occupation forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced persons west of Khan Younis, leaving two civilians dead and several others wounded.

Private aid operation is a 'distraction' from humanitarian needs, says UN

As the humanitarian situation worsens, Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), criticized the recent distribution mechanism led by a private American foundation. Laerke called the initiative a "distraction from what is actually needed," emphasizing the urgent need to open all crossings and allow safe, expedited entry for medical and food supplies.

Over 180,000 displaced in 10 days 

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that the Israeli aggression between May 15 and 25 resulted in the forced displacement of nearly 180,000 people within Gaza.

The total death toll from the Israeli aggression, which began on October 7, 2023, has now reached approximately 54,056 martyrs and 123,129 wounded. Since March 18, 2025, the death toll has climbed to 3,901 martyrs and 11,088 wounded.

Environmental collapse threatens Gaza with waste pile-up

The Gaza Municipality warned of a looming health and environmental disaster as more than 250,000 tons of waste have accumulated across the city amid the collapse of infrastructure and interruption of essential services.

Hamas calls for global days of rage 

In response to the ongoing massacres and starvation, Hamas has called for global days of rage on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The call urges international solidarity with the people of Gaza and a rejection of what the movement described as “systematic genocide and starvation” targeting children and women in the besieged Strip.
