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.

On Wednesday evening, Israeli warplanes conducted a raid near the European Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and bombarded a house near al-Sousi Mosque in al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.

Two Palestinians were also killed in an Israeli strike that bombarded a civilian car in the Khirbat al-Adas neighborhood in Rafah, southern Gaza.

Earlier, the Health Ministry in Gaza confirmed that the number of Palestinians killed since the start of the aggression on the Strip on October 7 has risen to 31,272, the majority of whom are children and women.

It added that the number of injuries has risen to 73,024, while thousands of victims remain under the rubble.

The Ministry highlighted that the Israeli occupation forces committed 10 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 88 citizens and injuring 135 others in the past 24 hours.
