9 dead, including 5 aid recipients, north of Rafah

A number of civilians were killed and others injured on Monday evening as a result of Israeli shelling of various areas in the Gaza Strip.

A medical source at Nasser Hospital reported that five citizens were killed and others injured by Israeli occupation forces' fire near an aid center north of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Two citizens were killed in an Israeli airstrike near Hamad Residential City, northwest of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. Two other citizens, one of them a child, were also killed in an attack on Al-Fawakhir Street in central Gaza City.

Medical sources announced the deaths of 35 citizens due to Israeli gunfire and shelling of the Gaza Strip since dawn today, including 18 in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip.

According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 57,418 martyrs and 136,261 wounded. Thousands of bodies remain under the rubble and in the streets, as rescue and ambulance teams are unable to reach them due to the ongoing bombardment and lack of equipment.

The Israeli occupation continues its intensive bombardment of residential areas, medical centers, and displacement camps, amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions and severe shortages of food, water, and medicine. Meanwhile, humanitarian organizations continue to warn of the worsening health and environmental crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip.
