PALESTINE – At least 47 Palestinians lost their lives from Israeli strikes on Gaza today, Saturday, according to local medical sources.

Medical staff at al-Awda Hospital reported receiving the bodies of five people and 33 others wounded following an Israeli attack on a group of civilians north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Twenty-one Palestinians were killed and more than 200 wounded in the latest attacks after Israel targeted those waiting for aid in the northwest late Saturday.

Two brothers were killed in a strike that targeted them in the Shejaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

Two more Palestinians were killed and another was injured when Israeli forces opened fire on crowds waiting near an aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, south of Wadi Gaza.

Local reports also confirmed Israeli artillery shelling in the Zeitoun neighborhood southeast of Gaza City, coinciding with a drone strike near the al-Shaheed Mosque east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Israel has been facing mounting outrage over its deadly war on Gaza, where more than 61,300 people have been killed since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave and brought it to the verge of famine.
