In addition, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has warned that the medical staff a its Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis are unable to perform surgeries because of the depletion of oxygen after the Israeli army intensified its offensive and ground invasion in southern Gaza.
In Gaza City, the army carried out a series of airstrikes targeting the Tal Al-hawa neighborhood in the western part of the city, killing and wounding many Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Al-Jazeera News Agency said eight Palestinians were killed and many were injured when the army fired a missile at a home for the Silimi family in the Zeitoun neighborhood in Gaza City.
In Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, Palestinian fighters continued to exchange fire with Israeli soldiers who fired barrages of missiles and shells at various areas of the city and its surrounding areas.
The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, published videos of its fighters destroying several Israeli tanks and armored military bulldozers in Khan Younis.
Israeli daily Maariv said Hamas’s control of areas in northern Gaza that the army previously controlled is of concern to the military and political leadership in Tel Aviv and added that Hamas managed to obtain civil control of those areas, an issue that “undermines the achievements” of the army.
In related news, the State of Palestine and its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ex-Patriates called on countries that suspended aid to the UNRWA to reconsider their disastrous decisions, as they constitute “collective punishments and miserable double standards.”
Based on Israeli allegations, and without calling for an independent investigation or waiting for the results of the said investigation, ten Western countries have suspended UNRWA funding after Israel alleged twelve of the agency’s 30,000 employees reportedly took part in the October 7 attacks.
The United Nations said it suspended 9 out of 12 UNRWA employees whom Israel accused of participating in the October 7 attacks.
Al-Jazeera English said UNRWA said it initiated an investigation into “some employees” Israel is alleging were involved in the October 7 attacks, adding that it “severed tried with them.”

UNICEF said “Over 1.9 million people – nearly 85 percent of Gaza’s population – is now displaced. Many have been displaced multiple times.”
It is worth mentioning that, on Saturday, the Health Ministry in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli army “committed eighteen massacres against entire families, killing 174 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in the Gaza Strip.”
For the fifth consecutive day, Israeli colonizers gathered at the Karem Abu Salem border terminal, to block trucks carrying humanitarian aid from the United Nations from entering the Gaza Strip.
