The occupation targets those waiting for aid in Gaza.

Five citizens were killed and several others were injured on Monday when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on groups of citizens waiting to receive humanitarian aid near the Bianco Resort, west of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics reported that three martyrs and six wounded were transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital, west of Gaza City, as a result of direct targeting by the occupation forces of groups of citizens while they were waiting for aid on the Rashid coastal road, near the Al-Waha area, northwest of Gaza.

Medical sources reported that a number of other aid-seekers were also injured by direct fire from the Israeli occupation forces in the same area, with numerous such cases documented.

In a later development, Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics reported that three civilians were killed and others injured in an Israeli bombardment targeting a group of civilians near Al-Hashemia School in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City. The wounded were transferred to the city's Baptist Hospital.

According to updated data, the number of martyrs among those waiting for aid has risen to 17, with more than 136 injured today alone at aid distribution centers across the Gaza Strip. This brings the death toll of those "living victims" to 467, with more than 3,602 injured since the beginning of the occupation's war of extermination.

In this context, sources in Gaza hospitals confirmed that 35 martyrs have fallen since dawn today in various parts of the Strip, including 17 martyrs waiting for humanitarian aid.

This brings the total death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7 to 55,998 martyrs and 131,559 injured, amid warnings that a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them due to the ongoing bombardment and the dangerous situation on the ground.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces bombed residential buildings east of Jabalia al-Balad, north of the Gaza Strip, causing widespread destruction as part of a policy of systematic destruction of residential areas.

In another development on the ground, the Israeli occupation army issued immediate evacuation orders for Blocks 107, 108, and 109 in the center of Khan Yunis, in preparation for an attack. The army noted that the orders do not include Al-Amal and Nasser hospitals, which are located nearby.
