Escalating Violence: Terrorist ‘israeli’ Airstrikes Result in 72 Fatalities in Gaza, Including Children and Aid Seekers Near Distribution Hubs
Zionist forces have reportedly killed 72 Palestinians in Gaza, including children and individuals near humanitarian aid centers.
Medical sources in Gaza have reported that on Monday, Israeli forces conducted strikes on several locations throughout Gaza, with a particular focus on humanitarian aid centers.
In the aftermath of Israeli military operations targeting the Zeitoun and Sabra neighborhoods, along with the al-Zawiya market, injured civilians were swiftly transported to Al-Ahli Hospital for urgent medical care.
A large number of injured individuals, including numerous children, were seen lying on the ground due to a shortage of available beds to accommodate them.
The casualties also involved multiple Palestinian individuals who were seeking assistance and were killed in proximity to food distribution centers operated by the contentious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) situated north of Rafah.
Since the Israel-U.S.-backed GHF assumed control of the restricted aid deliveries in Gaza in late May, Israeli forces have consistently targeted Palestinians in the vicinity of distribution centers.
The Gaza Government Media Office reports that Israeli forces have resulted in the deaths of over 580 individuals and have left more than 4,000 others injured in proximity to GHF centers.
An article from Israel’s Haaretz newspaper has cited anonymous Israeli soldiers claiming they were instructed to open fire on Palestinian individuals seeking assistance in order to “disperse” them.
The humanitarian situation in the Strip is worsening, with infants facing daily fatalities amid a severe shortage of essential nutrients.
Christy Black, an Australian nurse offering her services in Gaza City, reports that the hospital where she is stationed is critically short of medical supplies. Essential items, such as special formula for pregnant women who need nasogastric feeding, are particularly scarce. This shortage threatens the nutritional support necessary for lactation and the availability of baby formula, she noted.
As per the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system, the entire region is classified under Level 4 famine conditions, indicating that a significant segment of the population is grappling with severe food shortages and a scarcity of basic necessities, resulting in widespread starvation, mortality, and acute poverty.
