84 Palestinians have been martyred since dawn today, with 58 of them in the Gaza and North governorates, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported.
Earlier in the day, the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that 69 Palestinians were killed and 221 others were injured in 24 hours only as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip.
Among the martyrs are two individuals whose bodies were recovered from beneath the rubble.
The Civil Defense in Gaza City reported that 55 people were killed in the city alone, including children, women, and elderly individuals, while another 180 were wounded, adding that since this morning, occupation forces have intensified their bombardment, targeting displacement camps and civilian gatherings across Gaza City.
Our correspondent reported that two civilians were killed in an Israeli drone strike on a displacement camp near the Jawal company in central Gaza City, while four others were killed by occupation forces shelling near Salah al-Din School, which houses displaced people. Additionally, one Palestinian was killed in Al-Mukhabarat Street in the western part of the city.
Several more civilians were killed when occupation forces targeted a group of people in Gaza City's eastern al-Zaytun neighborhood, while in Jabalia, northern Gaza, 16 people were killed and others were wounded when Israeli forces shelled a residential area near the Al-Omari Mosque.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that five people were killed and around 30 others wounded when Israeli forces shelled displacement tents near Al-Quds Hospital in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.
Aid distribution points turned death traps
The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas stated in a press release that what were supposed to be aid distribution points have become "death traps", holding the Israeli occupation fully responsible for what it called the "daily crimes" occurring around these locations.
Hamas further stated that "the occupation's massacres against civilians in displacement camps and near criminal aid control checkpoints represent a deliberate escalation of the genocidal war."
Earlier on Thursday, the Gaza Health Ministry detailed that hospitals received 12 martyrs and more than 172 injuries from Israeli attacks near aid distribution points.
On June 18, 29 Palestinians were killed while waiting for aid, near a facility operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an Israeli-US-backed aid mechanism that has been central to a militarized model imposed by "Israel" on Palestinians who have been deprived of humanitarian aid for more than 3 months.
