PALESTINE – Over 31 Palestinians were on Saturday reported killed and dozens others injured by Israeli attacks in Gaza Strip.

Israeli army targeted a house for a Palestinian family in the Shati refugee camp, western Gaza City, killing six and injuring others.

A child was killed in an Israeli artillery shelling of the Sheik Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

In central Gaza, the Israeli army struck civilians waiting for aid delivery near distribution points in Wadi Gaza, killing two people and injuring 17 others.

Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes carried out strikes on the eastern areas of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

An elderly Palestinian lost his life to Israeli gunfire in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip.

Eight people were killed, several others injured in a drone strike on a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City, a medical source from Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital said.

A child was also killed in Israeli artillery shelling in the same neighborhood.

Several civilians were injured, while others remained trapped under the rubble of a house struck by Israeli forces in the Al-Nafaq Street of Gaza City, medics said.

The latest casualty came despite the army announcing earlier on Saturday the designation of Al-Mawasi as a humanitarian zone, urging Gaza City residents to move towards it before intensifying ground operations in the northern city.

6 Die of Starvation in Gaza

The Gaza’s Health Ministry said that six people, including a child, died of starvation and severe malnutrition in the last 24 hours, bringing famine-related deaths since October 2023 to 382, including 135 children.

The ministry said 104 of the deaths, 20 of them children, occurred after the UN-backed hunger monitoring system Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) formally declared Gaza a famine zone last month.

The genocide in Gaza entered day 700 on Friday, with Israel having killed at least 64,300 Palestinians. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.
