On Saturday, Day 267 of the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the Palestinians in the destroyed, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip, Israeli missiles and shells killed and injured dozens of Palestinians across the coastal enclave.
Medical sources said many Palestinians were killed, and several others were injured, some seriously, when the army fired shells and missiles at the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza.
They added that the slain and injured Palestinians were rushed to the Indonesian Hospital in nearby Beit Lahia, while the Palestinians continued to search under the rubble, using their hands and basic tools.
The Palestinians found the mutilated remains of a Palestinian child, who was killed along with several members of his family after the army fired a missile at a home for the Jarboa family in the center of Jabalia refugee camp.
The Palestinian Civil Defense has no equipment to search under the rubble to locate slain or potentially injured Palestinians due to the siege, massive destruction, and ongoing bombing.
In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it evacuated its temporary administrative office in Mawasi Khan Younis after it was struck by debris and shrapnel from Israeli missiles that targeted nearby homes and buildings.
In Gaza City, the Israeli army carried out numerous airstrikes targeting various areas, north of the city, killing and wounding many Palestinians.

In Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said it evacuated its temporary administrative office in Mawasi Khan Younis after it was struck by debris and shrapnel from Israeli missiles that targeted nearby homes and buildings.
The PRCS said it moved to the new office after its headquarters were previously targeted by Israel and added that it is trying to ensure the safety of its staff and the people in the area.
In Rafah, in the Gaza Strip’s southmost part, the army fired missiles at homes in the northwestern area of the city, killing and wounding many Palestinians.
Medical sources said three slain Palestinians and many injured were moved to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after the army fired a missile from a drone at them in the Shakoush area in Al-Mawasi, northwest of Rafah.
The Israeli army burnt tents used by displaced Palestinians following an attack on camps for displaced Palestinians Al-Mawasi.
In related news, The Palestinian NGO’s Network Rehabilitation Sector released a statement with a stark warning regarding the severe repercussions of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The network highlighted that approximately 10,000 Palestinians have been left with permanent disabilities as a direct result of the Israeli attacks.
In the statement, the group also mourned the loss of hundreds of people with special needs and added that thousands became disabled due to the ongoing Israeli onslaught.

It stated that the unfolding crisis has led to the displacement of tens of thousands of individuals with special needs, subjecting them to harsh living conditions, with no access to accessibility, or the needed medical supplies, and are also facing profound psychological distress.

The statement further pointed out that the Israeli military actions have not only caused physical harm to thousands of Palestinians, including permanent disabilities but have also severely impeded the movement and access to essential services for persons with disabilities.
The destruction of critical infrastructure, roads, and rehabilitation centers has left thousands of persons with special needs struggling to navigate safely, resulting in the abandonment of crucial assistive devices in the face of relentless Israeli bombardment.

Israel has now killed at least 37.834, and injured more than 86.658, mostly children and women, in addition to the thousands of missing Palestinians, largely buried under the rubble, on destroyed streets, and in bombarded alleys, in various parts of the devastated coastal enclave, since October 7, 2023.
The law is clear, the definition of the crime of genocide is clear, the evidence is clear. Zionist regime in Palestine is committing genocide!
We must act to end it NOW! https://t.co/AFI2PCwDAE
