Israeli Genocide Persists: Dozens Martyred, Scores Wounded

On the 226th day of the Israeli genocide, more martyrs and wounded have been reported as a result of continuous airstrikes targeting the Gaza Strip.

Israeli occupation forces continue their aggression on various areas of the Gaza Strip for 225 days, resulting in more civilian casualties.

In a related development, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) launched a series of airstrikes on various areas in northern Gaza, amid fierce confrontations between resistance fighters and the IOF, which is attempting to expand its invasion into the area.

Our correspondent reported that Jabalia witnessed the highest rate of casualties in recent days. He added that fresh airstrikes targeted the gate of a makeshift shelter in the camp, resulting in the killing of 15 people and injuries to more than 35. Our reporter also mentioned that the victims were transported to Kamal Adwan Hospital.

In central Gaza, airstrikes hit a newly established camp north of Nuseirat, killing 18 Palestinians and injuring others.

IOF artillery targeted the Sheikh Zayed area and Kalibo Hill in northern Gaza, with Israeli aircraft striking near Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Furthermore, Israeli aircraft targeted a residence owned by the Awad family near al-Safa Mosque in al-Bureij camp, central Gaza.

Palestinian media also confirmed six fatalities from an Israeli airstrike on a residence on Yaffa Street in the al-Daraj neighborhood of eastern Gaza City.

Israeli claims of ‘safe’, ‘humanitarian’ zones ‘false’: UNRWA chief

Over 800,000 Palestinians have been forced to flee yet again to “so-called safe zones” since “Israel” began its incursion in Rafah, UNRWA Chief Philippe Lazzarini said on Saturday.

He lamented the numerous times that the people of Gaza have been forcibly displaced in a post on X, leaving them exposed and without “safe passage or protection,” detailing how every time, they have to leave everything behind and begin their lives anew. 

To make matters worse, he noted that most areas that people are fleeing to now lack safe water or sanitation and even basic emergency humanitarian assistance.

Lazzarini added that al-Mawassi, which he described as a sandy 14-kilometer land with “little to no buildings or roads” and lacking “minimal conditions to provide emergency humanitarian assistance in a safe and dignified manner,” held some 400,000 people before the invasion of Rafah.

“The humanitarian community does not have any more supplies to give out, including food and other basic items. ”

In addition, he emphasized that lack of fuel, unstable telecommunication, and continued airstrikes render the much-needed delivery of aid “almost impossible”.

Lazzarini urged the reopening of crossings and safe access to the same routes, citing that if they are not reopened, “the deprivation of assistance and catastrophic humanitarian conditions will persist.”
