Israeli genocidal war on Gaza enters day 370
In the midst of catastrophic humanitarian suffering for more than two million Palestinians — half of them children, the Israeli occupation army continued, for the 370th consecutive day, to pound and target different areas and massacre more civilians.
The Israeli occupation army carried out attacks on several homes, civilian targets and shelter centers in different areas of Gaza during the past 24 hours, killing and injuring dozens of citizens.
According to media sources, two civilians, including a woman, were martyred and others were reported missing following an Israeli attack on a house in al-Mawasi area in western Rafah, south of Gaza.
In northern Gaza, local sources said that the Israeli army opens fire at any citizen who tries to leave the camp, adding that at least eight citizens were shot dead and others were injured near the Abu Shurkh rotary in the west of the camp.
Israeli warplanes also bombed al-Rimal Clinic in Gaza City, which shelters displaced civilians, killing at least six of them and injuring 15 others.
An Israeli artillery attack on civilians near the junction of al-Saroukh in northern Gaza killed one of them and injured 15 others.
Another Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced families in Deir al-Balah City in central Gaza massacred 28 citizens and injured dozens.
More casualties were reported in other areas of Gaza following Israeli aerial, artillery and shooting attacks last night and today.
As the war in Gaza is going through its second year, the Gaza Strip has become now unrecognizable, with most areas reduced to rubble. The Palestinian death toll exceeds 42,000 while over 97,800 people have been injured, a large number of them facing life-changing injuries. Thousands of people are estimated to be still buried under the rubble.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s civil defense service said that the Israeli army continues to besiege northern Gaza and isolate completely form Gaza City for a sixth day, adding that bodies of dozens of civilians are strewn on the streets of northern Gaza.
The Israeli army has been banning the entry of basic food supplies to northern Gaza since last Sunday as part of its renewed efforts to starve the remaining civilians living there, according to the civil defense service.
The Israeli siege forced the UN to shut down schools and hospitals in northern Gaza, while the World Health Organization accused the Israeli army of impeding UN missions trying to evacuate patients at several hospitals.
