Hospital staff said at least 11 people were killed in the southern city of Khan Younis, some of whom were living in a tent in the Mwasi area, where thousands of displaced people were living. Israel designated it as a humanitarian zone.
Four other people, including the mother and daughter, were killed in Rafah City, according to the European hospital where the body was taken to the body.
Israel vowed to step up its attack on Gaza and occupied a large “safety zone” inside the large tract. Over the course of six weeks, Israel also blocked Gaza unless it entered food and other goods.
This week, aid groups issued an alert saying thousands of children are already malnourished, with most eating almost a day as stocks diminished, according to the United Nations.
On Saturday, Dr. Hanan Balkhy, head of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean office, urged Mike Huckabee, the new U.S. ambassador to Israel, to prompt the country to lift the lockdown in Gaza to join the lockdown, so medicines and other aid can enter the striptease. “I want him to see it firsthand,” she said. Huckabee visited the Western Wall, the most sacred Jewish prayer site in the Old Town of Jerusalem, when he was ambassador for his first time on Friday. He inserted the prayer into the wall, which he said was handwritten by U.S. President Donald Trump. Huckaby said he made every effort to bring the hostages held by Hamas home.
The war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 251 people. Since then, most hostages have been released in a ceasefire agreement or other transactions.
Since then, the Israeli attack has killed more than 51,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, which has not distinguished between civilians and combatants. The war destroyed much of Gaza and most of its food production capacity. The war has replaced about 90% of the population, with thousands living in tent camps and bombed buildings.
