The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation committed 9 massacres in the Strip, killing 86 martyrs and injuring 113 in 24 hours only.

This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the Israeli aggression on Gaza started on October 7 to 30,717, in addition to 72,156 injuries.

Compounding the devastation, some victims are still trapped under rubble, presumed dead, and bodies are scattered on roads, with the Israeli occupation hindering the arrival of ambulance and civil defense teams.

On his account, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the Israeli warplanes and artillery persist in bombarding neighborhoods across the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing of several individuals and causing injuries. 

Early on Wednesday morning, several Palestinians were killed and others were wounded as "Israel" bombed a residence in Deir al-Balah, located in the central Gaza Strip. Ongoing airstrikes also targeted the tents of forcibly displaced families in the eastern part of Rafah, resulting in critical injuries, including among children, as per our correspondent.

Concurrently, Israeli artillery targeted the eastern regions of the al-Bureij camp, the al-Mughraqa area, the al-Zahraa area, and the northern part of al-Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes also heavily targeted the city of Khan Younis.

Our correspondent reported that "Israel" bombed a gathering of citizens in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, causing multiple casualties. Additionally, casualties were also reported due to Israeli shelling on al-Qarara area to the northeast of the city of Khan Younis.

'Israel' starving people in Gaza to death 

The Ministry of Health in Gaza also reported that a 15-year-old girl died at Al-Shifa Medical Complex from malnutrition and dehydration, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed by malnutrition and dehydration in the Strip to 18 due to the ongoing Israeli aggression and complete blockade.

In northern Gaza, the severity of the famine has reached a critical point, particularly affecting vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses, Ashraf al-Qudra, the spokesman for Gaza's Health Ministry, warned.

The situation is worsening, and without an immediate ceasefire and the swift delivery of humanitarian and medical aid, the famine is poised to claim the lives of thousands of Palestinians, he added.

Al-Qudra went on to say that consecutive and gruesome massacres are deliberately being carried out by the Israeli occupation against the numerous starving individuals in northern Gaza.

He also called on the international community to utilize all available means of pressure to promptly cease the Israeli aggression.

An urgent appeal is directed to the United Nations to take immediate measures to avert the impending humanitarian and health catastrophe, particularly in northern Gaza, he further stressed.
