Adding to their list of massacres committed on the 373rd day of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces directly attacked a group of children in the al-Shati refugee camp, near the coast of Gaza City. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that the massacre claimed the lives of five children and injured several others on Sunday. The children were killed and wounded while playing together in a neighborhood in Gaza. 

Additionally, the Israeli occupation is besieging the Jabalia refugee camp, were the bodies of at least three martyrs were recovered by authorities from the Tal al-Zaatar neighborhood. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that three injured individuals were transported to the al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat after an Israeli airstrike targeted a home in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza issued a statement outlining the dire circumstances in the northern Gaza Strip. This region is currently facing the devastating effects of the Israeli regime's third military ground campaign within just one year.

The ministry explained that numerous bodies and wounded civilians are either abandoned in Gaza's streets or stuck underneath the rumble. This is due to the fact that authorities and emergency services are blocked from entering such areas by Israeli occupation forces, or due to the Israeli regime's attacks on emergency services, which have left most of their heavy equipment inoperable. 

Moreover, Israeli authorities are blocking the transfer of blood units to hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, as part of their campaign to debilitate the work of medical services in the area. 

Specifically, the Israeli regime has focused its pressure campaign on the Kamal Adwan Hospital, threatening its director with a fate similar to what transpired in the al-Shifa Medical Complex, whose staff were abused and facilities destroyed. 

The ministry said that only a "small quantity of fuel" was delivered to Kamal Adwan Hospital after several attempts to secure such a delivery. 

For nine days, hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip have endured a relentless Israeli siege, the Ministry of Health explained, which has endangered the lives of critically ill patients. The effects of the Israeli siege have also impacted the al-Maamadani Baptist Hospital, which also came under a direct strike in the early stages of the war on Gaza. The hospital issued an urgent call for blood donation to save the lives of wounded Palestinians.

On a brighter note, months after the horrendous Israeli onslaught on al-Shifa, Gaza's largest medical complex, the Ministry of Health said that the hospital was able to receive a group of wounded Palestinians, who were transferred from Kamal Adwan on Sunday. 

This development marks another feat for the besieged territory's medical sector, as well as authorities, who continue to battle the Israeli regime's war against vital services.

The ministry also announced that it would initiate the second phase of the polio vaccination campaign tomorrow.
