The Israeli occupation has been launching relentless airstrikes on Rafah, Gaza's smallest district at around 64 km2, although it is now home to more than 1.4 million displaced Palestinians.
Considering the vast civilian population, any airstrike can be incredibly fatal.
On the 148th day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported 10 massacres against families in the region. The tragic toll includes 92 martyrs and 156 injuries within the past 24 hours alone.
Compounding the devastation, some victims are still trapped under rubble and on roads, with the Israeli occupation hindering the arrival of ambulance and civil defense teams.
The overall impact of the Israeli aggression has now surged to a grim total of 30,320 martyrs and 71,533 injuries since October 7th of the previous year. The situation remains dire as Gaza faces continuous challenges amidst the ongoing conflict.
Moreover, an Al Mayadeen correspondent indicated that an Israeli drone targeted a civilian car in the vicinity of the Al-Salah Association in Rafah, resulting in several injuries, and the wounded were transported to al-Kuwait Specialized Hospital.
