In continuation of its crimes against the civilian population in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces killed 17 Palestinians in airstrikes that targeted homes in al-Nuseirat and Deir al-Balah refugee camps in central Gaza on Wednesday, while a dozen others are still missing under the rubble.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent mentioned that four were martyred and more than 15 were wounded after the Israeli occupation forces targeted Gazan civilians who were waiting for aid on the Al-Nabulsi roundabout, west of Gaza City.

Additionally, at least 29 people were martyred in an Israeli shelling targeting streets 5, Aabasan, and Bani Suhaila in Khan Younis on Wednesday evening.

Furthermore, five Palestinians, including two children and a woman, were martyred after the Israeli occupation forces targeted the al-Salah Mosque in the center of Jabalia city, north of Gaza.

A Palestinian was also martyred and nine others were injured after the Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire on civilians waiting for aid near the Kuwaiti roundabout south of Gaza City.

The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation committed 9 massacres in the Strip, killing 86 people and injuring 113 in 24 hours only.

This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the Israeli aggression on Gaza started on October 7 to 30,717, in addition to 72,156 injuries.

Compounding the devastation, some victims are still trapped under rubble, presumed dead, and bodies are scattered on roads, with the Israeli occupation hindering the arrival of ambulance and civil defense teams.

The Ministry's spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qudra, stated that a 15-year-old Palestinian child in the al-Shifa Hospital has been martyred due to malnutrition and dehydration. He added that a 72-year-old Palestinian man was also martyred in Kamal Adwan Hospital north of Gaza due to the same reason.

Al-Qudra confirmed that the total number of Palestinians killed by malnutrition and dehydration has risen to 20, adding that this reflects the truth behind the scarce level of aid delivered to hospitals.
