An Israeli air strike in central Gaza on Saturday night resulted in the tragic deaths of eleven individuals, including members of a single family, as confirmed by hospital authorities. The strike, which targeted a house east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, also left several others injured, according to Khalil Al-Daqran, spokesman for Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military reported conducting a strike on Hamas operatives in a former school in northern Gaza City. Gaza Civil Defense teams retrieved six bodies and assisted numerous injured individuals from the site, which serves as a shelter for displaced people.
Additionally, the IDF carried out ground operations in the Beit Lahia area, eliminating terrorists and dismantling terror infrastructure sites. The situation escalated further as Gaza's Kamal Adwan hospital faced intense fire, with artillery shells targeting nearby buildings and bombs being dropped in the hospital's courtyards by drones.
Despite conflicting reports, the World Health Organization expressed deep concern over the strikes around Kamal Adwan hospital. The WHO managed to supply essential resources to the hospital amidst the ongoing hostilities, including fuel, blood supplies, and patient transfers.
Amid the escalating crisis, a UN convoy successfully reached a neighborhood in Beit Hanoun that had been isolated for over 75 days, delivering vital supplies such as water, wheat flour, and canned food. The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen, with skyrocketing food prices leading to long queues at NGO facilities.
Mothers like Yasra Salem Abu Al-Rous and Aya Al-Batoon shared their struggles, highlighting the dire consequences of food insecurity on their children's health. The conflict has exacerbated pre-existing conditions and pushed families to the brink of survival.
Despite some optimism for a potential truce between Israel and Hamas, challenges persist, and Israeli forces remain active across Gaza. The region faces a critical humanitarian crisis, underscoring the urgent need for peace and stability.
