The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today that the number of Palestinians killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza on October 7 has risen to 28,775, in addition to 68,552 injured.
In 24 hours only, Israeli occupation forces have committed 10 massacres against families in Gaza, killing 112 Palestinians and injuring 157 others.
The Ministry stressed that many victims remain under the rubble, and are presumed dead, as the IOF have been deliberately preventing ambulances and civil defense crews from reaching them.
Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip are ongoing since October 7
For the 133rd consecutive day, the Israeli occupation persists in its aggression against the Gaza Strip. On Friday at dawn, it initiated a series of airstrikes targeting various areas of the Strip, resulting in numerous casualties and injuries. This comes despite the International Court of Justice's decision, which demanded that "Israel" take measures to prevent genocide in the region.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a house in the Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
An Israeli airstrike on a house in al-Nasr neighborhood, east of Rafah, resulted in the martyrdom of at least seven citizens, with several others sustaining injuries.
Earlier on Thursday, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that patients and medics were enduring "dire and frightening conditions" at a major hospital raided by Israeli occupation forces.
Hundreds of doctors and patients remain inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, after the IOF reportedly entered the premises opening fire in its medical departments and urging the injured to evacuate.
UNRWA is also a target for 'Israel'
The UN Palestinian Refugee Agency UNRWA confirmed on Thursday that its rehabilitation center for the visually impaired in Gaza has been reduced to rubble by "Israel" after it targeted the center from February 7 to 10 by clearing its premises and setting fire to rooms.
"Nothing remains of UNRWA's Rehabilitation Centre for Visually Impaired. This center was available to all visually impaired children across the Gaza Strip & provided braille machines, canes, visual aids + access to recreational activities including arts, sports & music," the organization posted on X.
This came a day after UNRWA announced that it would be unable to continue its operations in the Gaza Strip if "Israel" conducts its planned attack in Rafah, warned its head, Philippe Lazzarini.
