Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported that the Israeli occupation army blew up residential buildings in the center of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, at dawn on Thursday. Meanwhile, a number of citizens were martyred and wounded in raids on Gaza City, Nuseirat, and the Al-Mawasi area, on the 251st day of the devastating Israeli war on the Strip.
The correspondent pointed out that the Israeli occupation launched air, land and sea bombardment on the Al-Mawasi area, which shelters thousands of displaced people, west of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
Civil defense teams recovered the bodies of 3 martyrs and more than 10 wounded, the majority of whom were children and women, after the occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Louh family in the Al-Hasayna area in Nuseirat in the central Gaza Strip, according to an Tel Aviv Tribune correspondent.
The reporter also reported that 3 Palestinians were martyred and 5 injured as the occupation forces targeted citizens in the Al-Mughraqa area, north of the Central Governorate in the besieged sector.
6 other Palestinians were killed as a result of an Israeli bombing that targeted a house on Abu Al-Azam Street in the Al-Shujaiya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent said that the bombing destroyed a three-story house, and civil defense crews faced difficulties in recovering the bodies of the martyrs due to a lack of capabilities.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced yesterday that the occupation committed 3 massacres in the Strip, including the bodies of 38 martyrs and 100 wounded, within 24 hours. It also announced that the total number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip reached 37,202, and the number of injured 84,932, since the occupation began its devastating aggression against Gaza on the seventh of last October.
Hospitals stopped
On the other hand, the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned of the cessation of hospitals, health centers and the only station in Gaza Governorate that supplies health facilities and chronic patients with oxygen, due to the occupation’s control over the crossings and the failure to bring in diesel to operate the generator feeding the oxygen station and the refrigerators for storing medicines.
The Ministry said that the lives of dozens of sick and wounded people are at risk of inevitable death, in addition to the exposure of medicines in refrigerators to damage, and it appealed to all concerned, international and humanitarian institutions to quickly intervene to bring in fuel, electric generators and spare parts needed for maintenance.
For its part, Doctors Without Borders confirmed that more than 800 martyrs and about 2,400 wounded had been recorded as a result of intense bombing and ground attacks by Israeli forces on Gaza since the beginning of this June.
The organization added, “We can no longer accept the statement that Israel is taking all precautions, as this is just propaganda.”
