On Monday morning, Israeli warplanes launched a series of raids on several areas in Gaza targeting mainly the west of Gaza and Khan Younis. They bombed houses in al-Bureij camp, causing severe destruction to property and injuring many Palestinians. In parallel, the occupation initiated continuous incursions in the east of Gaza.
Israeli warplanes also opened fire on areas between Khan Younis and Rafah while continuously artillery shelling Khan Younis.
Local news sources have reported that alongside the Israeli bombing on Khan Younis that destroyed Palestinian homes, an Israeli "quadcopter" opened fire on Palestinians west of the area, and the vicinity of al-Nasser Medical Complex.
In addition to the continuous bombing of al-Nasser Medical Complex, the latter is fully surrounded by the IOF from three sides; the Hospital is only 1 kilometer away from al-Amal Hospital.
The occupation also bombed the east of al-Tuffah neighborhood and al-Daraj in Gaza.
25,105 martyrs, 62,681 injured
The Euro-Med Monitor confirmed that the occupation forces are continuously escalating the policy of starvation and humanitarian aid prevention on Palestinians in Gaza, using hunger as a weapon to forcibly displace Palestinians attempting to avoid death by bombing or starvation.
In a report marking the 100th day of the aggression, the Euro-med Monitor reported that about 100,000 Palestinians were martyred, missing, and wounded saying that “Israel committed horrific war crimes, with a casualty toll of about 1,000 Palestinians from the Gaza Strip every day, the bloodiest statistic in the modern history of wars."
The number of martyrs has risen to about 25,105 martyrs, and 62,681 injured since October 7, according to the Ministry of Health, the majority of whom are women and children, with thousands of Palestinians still under the rubble and cannot be reached.
The IOF are deliberately killing Palestinians as they gather for aid
The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor released a statement on January 18, stressing that the Israeli occupation forces are not only starving Palestinians in northern Gaza but have also killed dozens of individuals who tried to receive the meager aid that is arriving there, continuing the genocide that the occupation has been committing against Palestinians since October 7.
The human rights organization demanded that the United Nations agencies involved be held accountable for their persistent failure to guarantee suitable channels for providing the Palestinian people with humanitarian aid.
There were Shocking testimonies of the Israeli forces killing and injuring dozens of Palestinians on Thursday, January 11, 2024, on al-Rashid Street, west of Gaza, as they attempted to receive humanitarian aid. It was shown that dozens of residents gathered on al-Rashid Street, which had been destroyed by Israeli bulldozers in recent weeks, awaiting the arrival of the UN trucks carrying flour. Out of nowhere, Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians, killing 50 of them and injuring many others. The residents who managed to survive this massacre transferred the wounded as the dead remained on the ground.
In a second attempt to get a share of flour, later that day, hundreds of residents gathered again risking their lives as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the northern Gaza Valley are currently starving for the fourth consecutive month now.
Euro-Med Monitor testimonies further showed that the residents were forced to travel up to 10 kilometers to reach the distribution area, and as a result of the intense crowding in the area after the arrival of the trucks, there was no order for aid distribution amid fears of reported casualties.
In a glimpse of "safety" hours after the murder of the Palestinians by quadrocopters occurred, Palestinians were finally able to transport their martyred on animal-drawn carts, according to the Monitor.
