Gaza: 22 dead including 5 aid recipients, since dawn today.

Twenty-two civilians, including five aid recipients, have been killed since dawn Monday, as Israeli occupation forces targeted displaced people's tents, homes, and aid recipients in the northern, central, and southern Gaza Strip with airstrikes, artillery shelling, and gunfire.

Local sources reported that five citizens, including four members of one family, were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a displaced persons' tent in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis.

It added that two citizens, one of them a child, were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a tent housing displaced people near the Friends Cafeteria in Mawasi, Khan Yunis.

In the central Gaza Strip, medical sources reported the deaths of two civilians and the injury of others as a result of ongoing Israeli airstrikes, artillery shelling, and gunfire on the southeastern areas of Deir al-Balah.

On Sunday, the occupation forces issued a new evacuation order for large areas of Deir al-Balah, followed by a continued exodus of civilians into other areas last night.

Five civilians were killed and others injured when Israeli occupation forces targeted those waiting for aid near the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City, late last night.

According to medical sources in the Gaza Strip, 94 citizens waiting for humanitarian aid were killed yesterday, Sunday, bringing the death toll from the "death traps" since May 27, 2025, to 995 martyrs, 6,011 injured, and 45 missing.

In the northern Gaza Strip, medical sources confirmed the arrival of five martyrs and a number of wounded to Al-Shifa Hospital following two attacks by Israeli drones on Al-Nazla Roundabout in Jabalia and Jabalia Al-Balad.

A citizen was also killed and others were injured when Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building on Al-Nasr Street, west of Gaza City. A child was also killed when Israeli warplanes targeted a kindergarten near a camp for displaced persons in the vicinity of the municipal park in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City.

Later, a citizen was killed and two others were injured when a helicopter bombed an apartment in the Al-Zayigh building near the municipal park in central Gaza City.

Since March 2, 2025, the occupying forces have closed all crossings with the Gaza Strip and prevented the entry of food and medical aid, causing a famine to spread within the Strip.

The World Food Programme said the humanitarian situation in Gaza has reached an "unprecedented level of deterioration," with people dying from food shortages, some 90,000 children and women suffering from severe malnutrition, and nearly a third of the population deprived of food for days on end.

Yesterday, 18 civilians died from hunger and malnutrition, a grave indication of the worsening humanitarian catastrophe facing Gazans as a result of the ongoing blockade and aggression. This brings the total number of deaths from hunger to 86, including 76 children, most of whom are in the northern Gaza Strip.

It is worth noting that the ongoing Israeli aggression against our people in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has so far resulted in the death of 58,895 citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 140,980 others, in a preliminary toll, as a number of victims remain under the rubble and in the streets, and ambulance and rescue crews are unable to reach them.
