The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the Israeli occupation is deliberately targeting medical teams, healthcare institutions, and ambulances to stifle rescue operations. 

The Health Ministry added that medical teams are working in dangerous and unsafe conditions, but they remain committed to their duties towards their people. Furthermore, the Ministry called on the international community to take effective measures to protect medical teams, healthcare institutions, and ambulances.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in its latest statistics that 950 people have been killed by Israeli occupation forces, including 260 children and 230 women, with around 2,650 injuries, as a result of the ongoing aggression in the Gaza Strip.

On the other hand, the spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, told Al Mayadeen that "the occupation is committing acts of genocide": adding that they were employing white phosphorus in their attacks against civilian targets, which is internationally prohibited under Protocol III of the Convention of Certain Conventional Weapons.

He added that the occupation is committing acts of genocide amid an absence of any Arab intervention.

"The occupation is committing many massacres, with the latest being in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, which was considered relatively safe," Basal said: adding that there are many deaths in the northern parts of Gaza that are inaccessible to the Civil Defense teams.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that the IOF targeted an ambulance killing two civilians and injuring paramedics near al-Karamah Towers.

Our correspondent added that this is not the first time the occupation has targeted ambulances, as it had previously bombed a car parked outside a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli occupation continues its aggression against Gaza for the fifth day in a row, confirming it launched more than 200 raids on the al-Furqan neighborhood in the northern Gaza Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed that Israeli occupation aircraft launched a series of attacks north and west of Gaza City, adding that heavy bombardment targeted the vicinity of the Port of Gaza.
