On Sunday, Day 408 of the ongoing genocide, the Israeli army bombarded and shelled various parts of the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians, including children and women.
Medical sources in Gaza have confirmed that the army fired a missile at a home for the Aqel family in Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, killing seven Palestinians and wounding many, including children and women.
Palestinian medics moved the slain and wounded residents to the Al-‘Awda Hospital in Nuseirat refugee camp and the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir Al-Balah.
Additionally, ten Palestinians were killed, and eight were injured, including children and women, when the army bombarded a home for the Al-Maqadma family in the Al-Bureij refugee camp, in central Gaza, before they were transferred to the Al-Awda Hospital.
The Al-Aqsa Satellite TV reported that several Israeli tanks and armored vehicles advanced into an area east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp, firing shells and barrages of live fire. Armored military bulldozers also began destroying buildings and streets.

In Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, the Israeli army fired a missile at a home, killing and wounding many Palestinians, including children and women.
Mahmoud Basal of the Palestinian Civil Defense said the Israeli army bombarded dozens of homes across northern Gaza and added that families remain buried under the rubble.
In addition, the Israeli army detonated many homes in the Jabalia refugee camp, bombing and dropping barrel bombs on entire residential neighborhoods.
Despite repeated calls from victims, the Israeli army continues to prevent medics and rescue teams from entering various parts of northern Gaza for the 25th day and is attacking ambulances and medics that try to enter those areas.
Basal stated that the Civil Defense tried to reach a bombarded home near the shore in northern Gaza after a recent call from a resident stating that his family is buried under the rubble, but the medics were unable to reach the property.

Basal also mentioned that more than 80,000 Palestinians in northern Gaza do not have access to food, clean water, or medicine, as the army continues to surround the entire area amidst constant bombing and shelling.

“One of the desperately needed essentials the Palestinians are asking for is clean drinking water, in addition to basic supplies, including medicine,” Basal added. “Many Palestinians who fled northern Gaza spend days walking towards Gaza City, trying to find a safer area.”
It is worth mentioning that, on Saturday, the Israeli army killed at least 51 Palestinians and injured dozens, including many children and women, in several parts of the Gaza Strip. Many remain under the rubble.
The preliminary death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has reached 43,799, with 103,601 wounded. Among the slain Palestinians are at least 17,385 children, 11,891 women, 2,421 elderly people, 183 journalists, 85 emergency responders, 1,054 medical staff, 496 education staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
Reports also indicate that thousands of victims are still trapped under the rubble or in the streets, where it is impossible to reach them due to the ongoing bombing.
