The Palestinians transported the wounded and those who lost their lives, including children, to Nasser Hospital, after an Israeli bombing on Khan Younis, in the south of Gaza strip, on May 24.
The bodies of about 80 people killed in Israel's attacks have been transported to hospitals in the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health of Gaza announced on Saturday – a balance that does not include hospitals in the north of the country – severely affected, inaccessible, reports by News.ro.
Among the deaths of the last day of the Israeli military offensive are nine of the ten children of a doctor, said his colleagues and the Ministry of Health.
Alaa Najjar, a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital, was on duty at that time and ran home to find his house in flames, said Ahmad al-Farra, the head of the Pediatrics section, for the Associated Press.
Najjar's husband was seriously injured, and their only surviving child, an 11 -year -old boy, is in critical condition after the Friday attack in Khan Younis, south of the country, Farra said.
The dead children were between seven and 12 months old. Khalil al-Dokran, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health of Gaza, told the water that two of the children remained under the rubble.
The Israeli army stated in a statement that it had attacked suspects operating from a structure next to its forces and described the Khan Younis area as a “dangerous war zone.” She stated that she had evacuated civilians in the area and that “the statements regarding the injury of unimportant civilians are under verification”.
On Saturday morning, a statement announced that Israeli Air Forces hit over 100 targets in Gaza during the last day.
Over 53,000 victims in Gaza
The Ministry of Health announced that the new deaths raised the number of victims of the war to 53,901 from the attack of October 7, 2023 on Israel, launched by Hamas, which launched 19 months of fighting.
The ministry said that 3,747 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel resumed the war on March 18, in an attempt to press Hamas to accept other conditions for ceasing fire.
The pressure exerted by Israel on Hamas includes the blockade on the Gaza Strip and over 2 million inhabitants, starting in March. This week, the first small number of aid trucks entered the territory and began to reach the Palestinians from the beginning of the blockade. But these were much less than the approximately 600 trucks that entered the fire.
Hunger warnings issued by food security experts and desperate Palestinian images to get a bowl of food at the social canteens have caused Israel's allies to press on the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow humanitarian aid.
The Netanyahu government has sought a new system of delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid, through a new group established and supported by the US, but the United Nations and its partners rejected it, saying that it allows Israel to use food as a weapon and violates humanitarian principles.
Israel could now change its approach to allow the help groups to remain responsible for non-food assistance, according to a letter obtained by the AP. Israel accuses Hamas of hijacking help, but the UN and help groups deny the existence of significant diversion.
Pressure from Israel, denounced in the enclave
Gaza hospitals report attacks and other pressures from Israel again.
The Ministry of Health said that 11 members of the security personnel were trapped at the European Hospital in the south of the Gaza, following intense firearms and air attacks that started at least on Tuesday. Dr. Saleh Hams, the director of the Medical Assistance Department, said the patients were evacuated after an Israeli attack on May 13. Hams said that security staff remained behind to protect the robbery hospital and that he was the only hospital in Gaza who offered neurosurgery, cardiac care and cancer treatment.
Israel said he will continue to attack Gaza until Hamas releases all 58 remaining Israeli hostages and deposits his weapons. It is believed that less than half of the hostages are alive after the October 7 attack, in which the militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted another 251.
Hamas said he would free the remaining hostages only in exchange for the release of several Palestinian prisoners, a sustainable armistice and the withdrawal of Israel from the territory. Netanyahu has rejected these conditions and promised to maintain control over the gas and facilitate what he calls the voluntary emigration of a large part of the Palestinian population.
