The English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, reports that on the 694th day of the genocidal war waged by the Zionist regime against the Gaza Strip, brutal killings of civilians continue throughout this narrow enclave by the occupying army.Medical sources confirmed dozens more were killed or injured from dawn until noon today, including people awaiting aid.
Palestinian sources reported that this morning, 10 civilians waiting at a center in central Gaza to receive assistance were targeted and martyred by Israeli occupation forces. Several others were wounded. Additionally, three civilians were killed in an airstrike on a house in Al-Nuseirat Camp in central Gaza.
An airstrike north of Khan Yunis city in southern Gaza also left several civilians dead and injured. Medical sources at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital reported one civilian was martyred and several others wounded when Israeli warplanes attacked a refugee gathering site in Deir al-Balah in central gaza.
Simultaneously occurring, a medical source at Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza announced that another child died within the past 24 hours due to hunger and malnutrition.
Dr. Munir Al-Barsha, Director General of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, stated that Gaza City is facing an extremely dire situation and warned of horrific days ahead marked by mass deaths among Palestinians.
Referring to ongoing brutal assaults on Gaza City by Israeli forces, he said all residents reject the occupiers’ plan to seize their city and refuse displacement.
This health official emphasized that conditions are also catastrophic and unbearable throughout southern Gaza Strip as “all of Gaza smells like death.”
According to official statistics released by Gaza’s Ministry of Health, from dawn until noon today alone, 18 civilians have been martyred across widespread brutal attacks carried out by Zionist forces while dozens more suffered injuries.
The report adds that amid continued criminal aggressions targeting starving displaced civilians outside hospitals-where resources remain critically inadequate-the death toll keeps rising steadily.
