On Wednesday, Day 180, six months of the ongoing genocide of the Palestinians in the destroyed Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells killed dozens of Palestinians, including women and children.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said the Israeli army committed seven massacres against Palestinian families in 24 hours, killing 71 Palestinians and wounding at least 102.
In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the army continued its invasion and extensive bombing for the fourth month, striking homes and buildings in several parts of the city.
The soldiers also wired and detonated dozens of homes around Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
At least three Palestinians were killed and many were injured when the army fired a missile at a home for the Al-Farra family in Khan Younis.
Palestinian medics also located the corpses of many Palestinians in several parts of Khan Younis, while the army continued to bomb various areas, especially near the coast.
In Rafah, in the southmost part of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians held a funeral procession for sixteen Palestinians, including ten from the Zo’rob family, who were killed in two Israeli air strikes in the western and the eastern parts of the city.
In central Gaza, the army fired a missile at a residential building in the Nusseirat refugee camp, killing at least five Palestinians, including three children, and wounding dozens.
The army also fired a missile at a home in Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, killing at least two Palestinians and wounding several others.
Many casualties were reported in Israeli bombing and shelling of the Zahra’ city, Al-Mighraqa, and the northern areas of Nusseirat, while navy boats also fired missiles and live rounds at the Nusseirat shore and Deir Al-Balah.
The army also bombarded and shelled many areas of Gaza City, including near the destroyed Shifa Medical Center, causing many casualties.
Furthermore, the army fired missiles and artillery shells at various parts of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza, causing many casualties.
It is worth mentioning that the World Central Kitchen said it paused its work in the Gaza Strip, after the Israeli army targeted its marked vehicles, killing seven of its international workers, including American and Canadian.
The pausing of services will impact the lives of dozens of thousands of displaced Palestinians who used to receive fresh meals.
The World Central Kitchen is an international humanitarian organization that provides meals to civilians suffering from starvation as a result of conflicts and natural disasters around the world.
The WCK said in its statement: “World Central Kitchen is pausing our operations immediately in the region. We will be making decisions about the future of our work soon.” Read the Full Statement Here
In addition, the World Bank said the damages in the Gaza Strip are estimated at at least $18.5 Billion, due to the massive targeting of homes, buildings, and infrastructure.
The United Nations said there is no safe place in the entire Gaza Strip, as the Israeli army continues to bomb every part of the coastal enclave.
After the Israeli army withdrew from the Shifa Medical Center in Gaza City, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said: “The Israeli army carried out a massive, shockingly horrific military operation in Shifa Hospital in Gaza over the past two weeks, indiscriminately targeting & attacking Palestinians regardless of their civilian status, professional standing, gender, age, or health condition.”
“Though the exact number of casualties is still unknown, preliminary reports suggest that over 1,500 Palestinians have been killed, injured, or are reported missing as a result of the massacre at Al-Shifa, with women and children making up half of the casualties.”
“Euro-Med Monitor confirms from its initial investigation and testimonies that hundreds of dead bodies, including some burned, and others with their heads and limbs severed, have been discovered both inside Shifa Medical Complex and in the hospital’s surrounding area in Gaza.”
“The massacre at Shifa Hospital claimed the lives of at least 22 patients who were killed in their hospital beds during the Israeli siege of the Medical Complex, amid the willful deprivation of their access to food, medical care, and supplies.”
“According to initial estimates, the Israeli army demolished and set ablaze over 1,200 housing units in the vicinity of Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City.” Read More
Israel has now killed at least 32.975 Palestinians, and injured more than 75.577, mostly women and children, in addition to the thousands of missing Palestinians, buried under the rubble of bombarded homes and buildings, and the corpses that remain in areas where Palestinian rescue teams are unable to reach due to massive destruction, constant bombings and the lack of equipment and fuel.
