The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that the number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli aggression since October 7 has risen to 31,819, in addition to 73,934 injuries.
In the past 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed nine massacres against families in Gaza, killing 93 and injuring 142, said the ministry, adding that some of the victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, with the occupation preventing the search and rescue missions of ambulance and civil defense teams from reaching the affected areas.
Concurrently, Israeli warplanes conducted scattered airstrikes targeting the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, the al-Nuseirat camp in its central region, and Rafah in the South. These airstrikes killed over 20 Palestinians and left several injured.
Israeli warplanes also targeted residences in the al-Rimal neighborhood, and the vicinity surrounding Al-Shifa Hospital, along with the west of Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Israeli Apache helicopters and tanks intermittently fired in the western parts of Gaza City. Our correspondent also noted that Israeli airstrikes bombed northern areas of Khan Younis city in the southern Gaza Strip.
Israeli airstrikes kill several Palestinians in Gaza's Rafah, Jabalia
Earlier today, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that 14 Palestinians were killed and others were injured as a result of Israeli airstrikes on residential houses and apartments in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation forces targeted two houses on al-Moudarriseen Street, as well as a residential apartment in the al-Mouhandiseen Towers in the al-Zohour neighborhood in northern Rafah.
Our correspondent also confirmed that two aid workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a warehouse for aid in Jabalia refugee camp, north of Gaza.
In the past hours, the Israeli occupation forces committed another massacre that resulted in several martyrs and wounded after shelling a house west of the al-Nusseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, belonging to the al-Hajj family.
IOF persisted in their raid on al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, raising concerns for the safety of 30 thousand forcibly displaced Palestinians besieged within the hospital.
The hospital accommodates more than 5,000 injured individuals whose lives are endangered by the airstrikes and electricity cuts, as per our correspondent.
It is worth noting that the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, has lately called for the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
In a convened session for the UN Security Council at the New York headquarters, Guterres called on "Israel" to "guarantee the complete and unconditioned arrival of humanitarian goods in all areas of the Gaza Strip."
He highlighted that more than half of the Palestinians in the Strip, almost 1.1 million people, have run out of their humanitarian aid rations, and are currently facing severe hunger.
