Medical teams in Gaza reported that 155 bodies were transferred to hospitals across the Strip over the past 24 hours, as Israeli bombardment continued despite the formal activation of a ceasefire agreement. Of these, 135 were recovered from beneath the rubble of homes and buildings destroyed in previous attacks.


Update: A Palestinian was killed after an Israeli military drone opened fire at him in the Al-Qarara town, north of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

Medical sources have confirmed that three seriously wounded Palestinians, have succumbed to their injuries, Saturday.

Since the beginning of the genocide on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed 67,682 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and wounded 170,033 others. Thousands remain buried under rubble, and emergency teams are unable to reach many of the victims due to the destruction of rescue infrastructure and continued bombardment.


Among the victims were 16 civilians killed when Israeli forces shelled a home belonging to the Ghabboun family in southern Gaza City.

One Palestinian was killed in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the city’s northern area, and two others were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting southern Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. Another Palestinian died from injuries sustained in an earlier attack.

The bodies were distributed across Gaza’s overwhelmed medical facilities:

  • 43 arrived at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City
  • 60 at al-Ahli Arab Hospital (Baptist Hospital) in Gaza City
  • 4 at al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat
  • 16 at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah
  • 32 at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis

Despite the ceasefire’s ratification by the Israeli cabinet late Thursday, Israeli warplanes, drones, and artillery continued to strike Gaza. Shelling was reported in Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Rafah, with civil defense teams unable to reach many trapped victims due to ongoing aerial surveillance and military activity.

In multiple neighborhoods, including Sabra and Zeitoun, rescue crews were forced to retreat under fire.

The ceasefire agreement includes a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, the release of captives, and the entry of humanitarian aid.

However, implementation remains stalled. Relief convoys remain held at border points, while civilians are being cautioned to stay away from buffer zones due to ongoing military deployment..

Humanitarian agencies report that Gaza’s health system is on the brink of collapse. Hospitals operate without electricity, fuel, or medical supplies. Thousands of wounded civilians remain untreated, and morgues have exceeded capacity.

UN officials warn that famine conditions are deepening, with children dying from malnutrition and dehydration.

Dr. Munir al-Barsh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, warned of catastrophic conditions across the Strip as the health system collapses under sustained Israeli bombardment.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, al-Barsh confirmed that Gaza’s medical infrastructure has been largely destroyed, with hospitals out of service and critical shortages in equipment, medicine, and fuel. He reported that a young girl died earlier today due to the unavailability of essential medical supplies.

Al-Barsh called for the immediate entry of continuous convoys of medical and humanitarian aid, specialized doctors to treat complex injuries, drinking water and fuel, including generators for hospitals.

He urged the international community to act swiftly to deliver lifesaving assistance and restore basic services.

With the ceasefire now in effect, the reality on the ground continues to reflect instability and ongoing danger. Civilians face relentless military aggression, displacement, and humanitarian collapse, underscoring the urgent need for international enforcement, unrestricted aid access, and accountability.
