Civilian death toll rises as Israeli bombing targets homes in northern Gaza

In Beit Lahia, Israeli warplanes bombed homes belonging to the Foura and Aman families near Kamal Adwan Hospital, leading to multiple fatalities, though the exact number remains unconfirmed. The northern Gaza city saw further devastation when a child, who had been evacuated from Kamal Adwan Hospital, died at Baptist Hospital after his condition deteriorated.

In central Gaza, three civilians were killed in Al-Nuseirat camp when an Israeli drone targeted homes belonging to the Al-Nabahin and Qaddoha families. Another strike on the Saftawi area, north of Gaza City, claimed one civilian life and left several injured. Additional injuries were reported following an artillery strike near Karameesh Park, also in the Al-Nuseirat area.

In response to the escalating violence, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) coordinated with the World Health Organization to evacuate 30 wounded and sick individuals along with 33 companions from Kamal Adwan Hospital to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Additionally, 14 patients were transferred from Al-Shifa to Nasser Medical Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip for further treatment.

The surge in civilian casualties highlights the severe humanitarian toll of the ongoing conflict, as health facilities in Gaza struggle to accommodate the influx of wounded amid continuous airstrikes. (ILKHA)
