The people of Gaza are facing an unrelenting humanitarian crisis, as they continue to suffer under a crippling siege and escalating aggression from Israeli occupation forces. In a desperate plea, besieged civilians in the north of the Gaza Strip are calling out for the world to save their lives, while the central and southern regions of the enclave are being ravaged by deadly massacres.
“The people of the Gaza Strip have no choice but to stand firm and resist in the face of the world’s silence on their ongoing genocide,” said a local activist. “They must resist despite the pain of continuous loss, siege, starvation, and disconnection from all means of normal life.”

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, announced that they had shelled a position of the Israeli occupation army soldiers on a supply line in the Netzarim axis, located between Gaza City and the central governorate.
In the north, media sources reported that Israeli helicopter and drone strikes have targeted civilian homes in Beit Lahia, leaving the besieged residents there pleading for their lives as they face the horrors of hunger and violence.
“Most of the injured are children, and their condition is critical,” said a medical source, adding that the Israeli forces have also targeted a school housing displaced people in the Al-Bureij camp and intensified the shelling of the Jabalia camp.

The situation has only worsened, as the death toll continues to rise. Medical sources reported that at least 18 Palestinians have been killed in the latest raids on the central and southern Gaza Strip. This includes the deaths of 5 Palestinians, including 4 children, in an Israeli bombardment on the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.

This comes while two others were injured as a result of bombing in the Khirbet Al-Adas area and a third in the Al-Mawasi area in Rafah city as well. This was preceded by the announcement of the martyrdom of 9 Palestinians in hostile bombing in the eastern part of Rafah city.

The body of a martyr arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after being retrieved from the Al-Matahen area southeast of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, where a citizen was also martyred as a result of the occupation bombing a house on Abu Areef Street in the area.
The occupation artillery shelled the vicinity of the university college and Street 8 south of Gaza City.
Three martyrs were killed, others were injured and others went missing as a result of the occupation’s raids on Deir al-Balah and al-Bureij in the central Gaza Strip at dawn today. In addition, a doctor at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital was martyred in the occupation’s bombing of Abu Hamisa School, which shelters displaced people in al-Bureij camp in the central Gaza Strip.
It is worth noting that for the 61st consecutive day, northern Gaza has been under an Israeli siege and starvation amidst violent aerial and artillery bombardment, and the complete isolation of the northern governorate from Gaza. For the 43rd day, the occupation forces continue to forcibly disrupt the work of civil defense in the northern Gaza Strip due to the ongoing Israeli targeting and aggression, and thousands of citizens there are now without humanitarian and medical care.
In turn, UNRWA stated that it was forced to stop delivering food and other supplies to Gaza via the Kerem Abu Salem border crossing due to the looting carried out by “armed gangs.”
Despite being the main corridor for humanitarian aid, the agency made the decision on Sunday after it was informed that trucks carrying food supplies had been “completely hijacked” after crossing into Gaza.
