The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily death toll that the number of martyrs has reached 29,606 and the wounded have reached 69,737.
It also declared that in the past 24 hours alone, eight massacres have been committed by the Israeli occupational forces which led to the martyrdom of 92 people and the injury of 123.
The Ministry further stressed that thousands of victims remain under the rubble, presumed dead, as the IOF continue to deliberately prevent ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
In recent hours, the battlefronts in Gaza witnessed intense confrontations with Israeli occupation forces and consecutive operations by the Palestinian Resistance factions, specifically in the central and southern parts of the besieged Strip.
This comes two days after Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that photojournalist Muhammad Yaghi “Abu Tishreen” was martyred, along with his daughter Eylul and his wife Dania, in a massacre committed by Israeli occupation aircraft near Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

"Israel" also renewed its attacks on al-Bureij refugee camp, in the center of the Strip, and targeted a house in al-Zaytoun neighborhood to the south.
Just yesterday at the UNSC meeting, the MSF (Doctors without Borders) International Secretary-General Christopher Lockyear expressed that "children who do survive this war will not only bear the visible wounds of traumatic injuries but the invisible ones too."
"There is a repeated displacement, constant fear, and witnessing family members dismembered before their eyes," he continued, adding, "These psychological injuries have led children as young as five to tell us that they would prefer to die."
