Israeli occupation forces opened fire on a gathering of Palestinians at the Kuwaiti roundabout in the Gaza Strip as they awaited aid delivery, resulting in the martyrdom of six people and injuring 83 others.

The Palestinian people in Gaza are facing dire shortages of food, water and medicine, and several cases of people dying of starvation were reported as the Israeli occupation forces continue to delay the entry of much-needed aid across the Strip.

One Palestinian was killed and others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that bombarded a house in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

Israeli artillery also shelled the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza as Israeli warplanes targeted the al-Zaytoun neighborhood south of Gaza City with heavy airstrikes.
