Gaza hospitals announced the death of 256 citizens, including 20 children, in addition to the injury of 1,788 others, within less than 24 hours, according to what was reported by the Palestinian News Agency, Wafa.
The occupation warplanes launched a series of violent raids on the northern and western areas of Gaza City, targeting citizens' homes, the vicinity of some hospitals, and residential towers.
The raids were concentrated in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood and the Al-Quds Hospital affiliated with the Red Crescent, where hundreds of families took refuge, seeking protection from the occupation’s bombing, according to Wafa.
The occupation aircraft also targeted the neighborhoods of Al-Rimal, the vicinity of Al-Shati camp, and the areas of the Intelligence Towers, Al-Karama, and Al-Fayrouz, destroying dozens of homes and residential buildings.
The occupation aircraft bombed with dozens of missiles the Sudaniya and Al-Wahah regions and the western and northern regions of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, using a scorched earth policy.
The occupation aircraft targeted a number of homes in Khan Yunis, west and east, this city where families who were forcibly displaced from the northern Gaza Strip took refuge.
The city of Rafah (south of the Gaza Strip) was also subjected to dozens of raids, most of which targeted citizens’ homes, leaving martyrs and wounded among their ranks.
Wafa reported that Nasser and Abu Youssef al-Najjar hospitals (south of the Gaza Strip) are no longer able to deal with the wounded and injured as a result of the bombing damage, and their capacity has been exhausted.
She pointed out that rescue teams and paramedics are facing extreme difficulties in removing the rubble of homes and buildings from the victims and injured.
Yesterday, Friday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of martyrs among the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank had risen to 1,951 martyrs, since the beginning of the aggression last Saturday.
The Ministry explained that the number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip rose to 1,900, including 614 children and 370 women, while the number of wounded reached 7,696.
In the West Bank, the number of martyrs rose to 51, after 16 citizens, including children, were martyred yesterday, Friday, while the number of wounded rose to more than 950.
