Israeli strikes kill 82 people in Gaza over past day: Ministry

GAZA (SW) – Eighty-two people have been killed in 10 Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the last 24 hours, raising the total number of deaths in Gaza since October 7 to 30,960, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

A statement by the ministry on Telegram said that 122 people had been injured by the Israeli army over the past day, increasing the total number wounded to 72,524.

It added that a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, as the occupation prevents ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.

Overnight, Israeli attacks on Rafah city and central areas in Gaza caused further civilian casualties. They have been rushed to the remaining health facilities either in Rafah City or the central areas.

They are under the threat of losing their life in the central areas, where Al-Aqsa Hospital is overwhelmed with no medical supplies sufficient to treat people properly.

In overcrowded Rafah, overnight strikes on a residential complex not only caused a large number of injuries but also further internal displacement.

Wounded people who arrived at the Najjar Hospital in Rafah are under the threat of not receiving the necessary treatment, given the shortage of medical supplies and staff.

The medical staff has been exhausted, working 24 hours and seven days a week for the last five months. It is a very serious situation at the medical level.

In the northern part of Gaza, there are seeing children dying in this enforced starvation and dehydration due to the famine spreading, said Al Jazeera.

Three more children died at al-Shifa Hospital, as a result of starvation and dehydration, increasing the number of such deaths to 23.
