On Tuesday, Day 85 since Israel resumed the genocide in Gaza after a temporary ceasefire (with 612 days of genocide in total), the Israeli army bombarded various parts of the Gaza Strip, and targeting humanitarian aid seekers, killing at least 36 Palestinians, and wounding dozens across the devastated coastal enclave.

Two Palestinian citizens were killed and others injured on Tuesday evening in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
A Wafa news correspondent reported that an Israeli drone bombed a tent housing displaced persons in the Bir 19 area of Khan Yunis, killing two civilians and wounding 13 others.
Earlier in the day, around 3 pm, an unknown number of citizens were killed on Tuesday when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a tent housing displaced persons in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.
A Wafa news correspondent reported, citing medical sources, that three Palestinian citizens were killed and others were injured after the occupation forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Majayda area in Khan Yunis.
Eight citizens, including a child, were killed on Tuesday by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) gunfire near an aid center in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported that the child, Muhammad Khalil Al-Athamneh (12 years old), was killed by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets near the aid distribution center in the central Gaza Strip. Seven citizens were also killed and others were wounded with varying degrees of injury by Israeli occupation forces’ bullets near the center west of Rafah city, in the southern Gaza Strip.
A civilian was also injured when Israeli artillery fired shells at a gathering of civilians near the Netzarim checkpoint in the central Gaza Strip.
Israeli warplanes bombard the Batn Al-Sameen neighborhood, south of Khan Younis.
It’s worth noting that over the past few days, the occupation forces have targeted aid distribution points, both in Rafah and the central Gaza Strip, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. This move, according to UN confirmations, is intended to forcibly displace residents, as part of what appears to be a strategy of ethnic cleansing.
The total number of Palestinians since the implementation of the aid distribution points mechanism on May 27, 2025, has reached more than 130, with hundreds more injured.
Yesterday, the aid distribution centers of the Israeli-American Gaza Relief Foundation, a UN-rejected organization, were transformed into mass killing traps, deliberately violating the dignity of citizens and forcing them to flee amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
Since this morning, more than 40 civilians have been killed by Israeli army fire and shelling, 20 of them waiting for aid near the so-called “Netzarim axis” in the central Gaza Strip.
Exhausted, burdened by the fatigue of displacement and the ravages of war, killing, and hunger. They walk with heavy steps, carrying empty containers and a fragile hope that they will find enough food to satisfy their hunger for just a few hours:
Also today, Israel bombed Gaza’s main internet line, causing a total communications blackout in the north. All internet and mobile services are down, cutting off journalists, aid workers, and civilians. The UN called it a critical failure and warned local teams can’t fix it without outside help.
At the same time, Israel ordered new evacuations in northern Gaza, declaring it a combat zone. Rights groups say the blackout is a deliberate tactic to pressure displacement and silence coverage. Civilians are now completely cut off during ongoing attacks.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation forces have launched an aggression on the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,981 citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 126,920 others, in a preliminary toll, as a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and rescue crews are unable to reach them.
Also on Tuesday, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced that Al-Amal Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip is out of service .
“Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis is currently out of service due to increased attacks by the Israeli army in its vicinity ,” Ghebreyesus said in a post on the X platform.
He pointed out that it was no longer possible to reach the hospital, leading to more deaths that could have been avoided .
The UN official explained that the hospital was no longer able to admit new patients, despite the presence of many in need of medical care .
He pointed out that with the closure of Al Amal Hospital, Nasser Hospital is now the only hospital in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza, that has an intensive care unit .
“We once again call for an immediate ceasefire, the protection of health facilities, and unhindered access to essential medicines and medical supplies ,” Ghebreyesus added.
Health services in the Gaza Strip are facing a complete collapse due to the systematic attacks launched by the Israeli occupation army on hospitals and medical facilities, as part of the genocide Israel has been committing against the people of the Strip for more than a year and a half.

In Jabalia, in northern Gaza, at least three Palestinians were killed, and several others injured, in an Israeli shelling of the town. They were all transferred to the Shifa Hospital, in Gaza city.
Furthermore, rescue teams located the corpses of nine Palestinians under the rubble of bombarded homes in Jabalia city.
In addition, medical sources have confirmed the death of seventeen Palestinians, including a child, and more than 100 injuries, when Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at Palestinians while trying to receive humanitarian aid near the Nitzarim corridor, south of Gaza city. The corridor separates and isolated northern Gaza with the southern parts.
In the past two weeks, Israeli soldiers killed more than 130 Palestinians, and injured about a thousand more, while awaiting humanitarian aid.
Furthermore, the Israeli army killed four Palestinian medics while trying to render aid to wounded Palestinians in the Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of Gaza city.
In Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, medical sources said many Palestinians have been killed and injured when the Israeli Airforce fired missiles around the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) building, in the western part of the city.
Also in central Gaza, five Palestinians were injured by live fire and bombs from Israeli drones targeting displaced Palestinians in the Da’wa area, north of the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, three Palestinians from one family were killed, and many injured, when the army bombarded a tent in Mawasi Khan Younis, while the Israeli Airforce also fired missiles at homes in Baten as-Sameen area in the city.
Also in Khan Younis, three Palestinians were killed, and several injured, in an Israeli drone attack in Maen area, east of Khan Younis.
In addition, the army fired many live rounds at displaced Palestinians near an American-run aid distribution center, in the northern part of Rafah city, in the Gaza Strip’s southmost part,
A senior official from The Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) stated that the so-called American-run humanitarian aid centers in Gaza have effectively become death traps, with people dying daily due to extreme conditions.
“They’ve doubled since March, the number of children that I’ve seen.”

The official reported that the death toll near the Netzarim aid center had risen to 17 today, while injuries sustained near these centers were severe and often fatal. The food provided at these centers is extremely limited and insufficient, failing to meet the basic nutritional needs of the population. As a result, people have been collapsing in the streets from extreme hunger.
The official also noted that Israeli forces are directly targeting medical personnel operating in Gaza, further exacerbating the crisis. The total number of deaths near aid centers has reached 130, with nearly 1,000 injured.
According to the PMRS, aid centers meet only 1% of the population’s actual needs, serving a purely propagandistic purpose rather than providing effective humanitarian relief.
