The Zionist occupation forces continue to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip, for the 304th consecutive day, through dozens of airstrikes and artillery shelling, committing massacres against civilians amidst a catastrophic humanitarian situation due to the siege and the displacement of more than 95% of the population.
Forty Palestinians were martyred and 71 others were injured during 24 hours in the Gaza Strip as a result of three "Israeli" massacres against civilian families, bringing the number of victims of the continuous genocide war on the besieged territory since October 7th to 39,623 martyrs and 91,469 injured. Thousands of victims are still under the rubble or on the roads, with ambulance and civil defense teams unable to reach them, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza through its update this afternoon.
As the genocide war on the sector enters its fourth day after the 300th, the Israeli occupation army continues its ground, air, and sea attacks on civilians, intensifying its targeting of shelters and displaced persons' gathering points and populated neighborhoods.
Eight Palestinians were martyred and others were injured on Monday afternoon as a result of an Israeli shelling targeting a civilian area in the Mills area south of the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, with the victims being transferred to the lone Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital operating in the central region.
The Union of Fishermen's Committees in Gaza announced the martyrdom of a fisherman by the gunfire of the occupation's warships off the shore of the Nusseirat refugee camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip. He was transferred to the Return Hospital, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Red Crescent, operating with very limited capabilities and only receiving a few cases for quick treatment before transferring them to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
During the past hours, the Israeli occupation army targeted the residents and displaced persons in central Gaza Strip areas and camps with intensive shelling on various areas, including in the Nusseirat camp, where the occupation carried out two raids and fired at the vicinity of the Wadi Gaza bridge northeast of the camp.
East of the Maghazi camp, the occupation vehicles fired their machine guns, targeting the Al-Masdar village in the middle of the strip, simultaneous with the occupation artillery shelling the homes of Palestinians southeast of the city of Deir al-Balah.
Sources told the Palestinian News Agency "WAFA" that the occupation warplanes targeted the eastern area of the Kastel Towers southeast of the city of Deir al-Balah, and fired on the vicinity of the garbage dump area to the east.
Recovery of the bodies of 84 martyrs that had been stolen by the occupation
In a related context, medical sources announced that they had received the bodies of 84 martyrs that had been abducted by the occupation army from graves in the Gaza Strip.
The bodies of the martyrs were buried in the Turkish cemetery in the Austrian neighborhood southwest of Khan Yunis city in southern Gaza. This is the third batch of martyrs' bodies that the occupation handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross during the months of the genocide war it is waging against the Palestinians in the strip.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital received 5 bodies of martyrs following an "Israeli" airstrike that targeted a vehicle in Khan Yunis city in the southern part of the strip.
The occupation warplanes continued their airstrikes on the city, witnessing two airstrikes on the Qizan Al-Najjar area. In Rafah city, the occupation artillery shelled the western areas.
In Gaza city, the Palestinian Civil Defense announced the retrieval of four Palestinian bodies who were killed in an "Israeli" airstrike on a group of Palestinians in the Tall Al-Hawa - Towers Street area south of the city.
Two of the martyrs were killed after the occupation targeted a group of Palestinians near Kuwait Junction southeast of Gaza city.
Warnings about the continued ban on the travel of patients and the wounded
Amid all this, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory warned of the increasing daily deaths of patients and the injured due to the blockade. The occupation authorities continue to prevent the entry of medical supplies and drugs and to destroy the health sector.
Data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health indicate that there are more than 12,000 injured and 14,000 patients in need of urgent external transfer to save their lives from imminent death.
The healthcare system in the Gaza Strip is deteriorating day by day, as it is almost collapsing due to the deliberate targeting of medical teams and the destruction of hospitals by the occupation. Additionally, the occupation continues to close vital crossings to Gaza and to prevent the entry of medical supplies, drugs, and humanitarian aid trucks.
