In addition, the army fired missiles and shells at homes and buildings in several parts of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 22 Palestinians, including two child siblings and three members of their family, and wounding dozens, before they were moved to Abu Yousef Najjar hospital in Rafah, in the southmost part of the coastal enclave.
Also, three Palestinians were killed and many were injured in a tent used by a displaced family in the western part of Khan Younis.
In addition, the army fired tank shells at Hamad School in Khan Younis, sheltering displaced families, killing at least three and wounding several Palestinians.
In Rafah, at least two Palestinians were killed, and six were injured, when the army fired a missile at displaced Palestinians near the coast, and one was injured in an Israeli bombing of the northern part of Rafah.
Also in Rafah, one Palestinian was killed and many were injured when the army fired a missile at a home in the Shouka town, east of the city.
Rafah is now the most densely populated area in the Gaza Strip as more than 1.4 Million Palestinians fled northern and central Gaza, heading to the southmost part of the coastal enclave, hoping to find some safety and shelter, however, the army targeted then many times before reaching Rafah and after reaching the city, leading to dozens of casualties.
In related news, the acting head of the Al-Awda Hospital in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, said the Israeli army has not allowed the entry of medical supplies into the coastal enclave, and added that the medical facility had to postpone vital surgeries due to the lack of supplies.
It is worth mentioning that 31 out of Gaza’s 36 hospitals had to shut down after being targeted and after running out of medical supplies, and even water and food, while the army also targeted 152 medical facilities, including hospitals and clinics in the coastal region.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the Gaza Strip urgently needs many field hospitals especially since the Israeli army is continuing the bombing and the deliberate targeting of civilian areas, in addition to its illegal starvation policies against the Palestinians and depriving them, including children and babies, access to medical care and basic nutrition.
The PRCS said Gaza also needs doctors and medical delegations from abroad and added that all hospitals in Gaza, and the exhausted medical staff and medics, became unable to treat the wounded and perform rescue operations due to the massive destruction and ongoing Israeli aggression.
