This brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the israeli aggression on Gaza to 28,176, with 67,784 reported injuries.

The Ministry emphasized the dire situation, with many victims still trapped under rubble as ZOF obstructs ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.

In Rafah, local sources reported that dozens of Palestinians were martyred in what is described as the heaviest Israeli bombing on the city to date. The ZOF artillery targeted the entrance of Abu Oreiban School, where displaced Palestinians sought refuge in the al-Nuseirat camp.

Furthermore, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) revealed that ZOF deliberately prevented the delivery of oxygen to Al-Amal Hospital for over a week, resulting in the deaths of three patients. The PRCS refuted ZOF claims of allowing oxygen containers and fuel into the hospital, asserting that all medical equipment was prevented from entering, and existing equipment was destroyed during a ZOF raid. Medical staff were reportedly assaulted, detained, and insulted, with nine medical and administrative staff, four injured patients, and five companions taken into custody.

The escalating violence in Gaza has prompted international condemnation, with calls for immediate action to protect civilian lives and ensure humanitarian access to the besieged enclave. (ILKHA)
