Another bloody day for Gaza, the Israeli occupation committed new massacres against Palestinians across the Strip, in addition to targeting multiple hospitals and medical and civil teams.
Tehran (ISNA) - The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, announced earlier that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th has risen to 15,523 martyrs, with 41,316 citizens sustaining various injuries. He also pointed out that 70% of the martyred civilians are children and women.
According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, a new Israeli massacre was committed at the gates of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. The Israeli occupation carried out strikes targeting the hospital's entrance, killing and wounding tens of civilians.
Furthermore, Palestinian media stated that medical and civil teams are unable to bury over 35 civilian martyrs, whose bodies are still in the facility's courtyards and directly outside its premises, due to the nonstop Israeli shelling.
Meanwhile, in the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation targeted the vicinity of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, resulting in the martyrdom of several individuals and the injury of others.
The Director-General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Barsh, revealed that amid the Israeli strikes, more than 7,000 displaced Palestinians are taking shelter inside the Kamal Adwan Hospital. Al-Barsh warned that the occupation is trying to advance toward the hospital to besiege it.
Just on Sunday, it was reported the martyrdom of hundreds of civilians across Gaza, a large number of which were killed in massacres after the occupation forces struck residential areas.
As the Israeli occupation military continues to carry out violent bombardments, leaving no time window for rescue efforts to be carried out, our correspondent in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the medical staff are no longer able to count the number of martyrs who have fallen in the aggression.
The Israeli occupation has directly targeted more than 14 hospitals in Gaza City and the northern part of the Strip since the beginning of the aggression, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced, pointing out that assassination attempts against doctors and medical personnel are ongoing.
