Palestinian medics tried to evacuate all the wounded and killed Palestinians but were also attacked by the Israeli soldiers.
The number of slain Palestinians is likely higher especially since the army is obstructing all rescue efforts.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), said that in coordination with its Egyptian counterpart and the International Committee of the Red Cross (IRCS), it managed to secure the delivery of nine aid trucks filled with food to northern Gaza.
In Central Gaza, the army killed several Palestinians, including at least one near Wadi Gaza Bridge on the Salahuddin Road.
Furthermore, the army fired many missiles at homes in several parts of the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, in addition to artillery shells at homes, east of the Al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza, causing many casualties.
Furthermore, the army fired many artillery shells and missiles at Sikka Street and Salahuddin Street, east of Jabalia, in addition to several areas in Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza, causing many casualties.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army blocked the transfer of more than 107 Palestinian patients, who remain trapped in the besieged Shifa Medical Center in Gaza, which remains isolated for the second week.
The Palestinians at the medical facility have no access to necessities, especially clean water, food, electricity, and medicine.
Rami Abdu Assist. Prof of Law & Finance and Chairman of Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor @EuroMedHR, said a child, Karam Mohammad Qaddah, 10, died at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza due to malnutrition.
Abdu added that the child was trapped in Al-Shifa Hospital with his mother, and Israeli forces refused to allow him to leave after they invaded the hospital, leading to complications, and stated that the child was allowed to leave with his mother Friday, after his health deteriorated.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said, that among the 107 patients, 30 are in critical condition and require specialized care that the hospital became unable to provide, in addition to 60 medical staff members.
Israel continues to deny requests from various international organizations to allow the evacuation of the patients to other medical facilities.
Israel has now killed at least 32.705 Palestinians, and injured more than 75.190, mostly women, children, and elderly, in addition to the thousands who remain missing, mostly buried under the rubble of bombarded buildings in various parts of the Gaza Strip, since October 7, 2023.
