It was reported that 30 Palestinians were killed and many others were injured in air and ground attacks by the Israeli army in the city of Rafah in Gaza. The dead and injured were transferred to nearby hospitals. Dense smoke rose from the area as Israeli forces targeted the Tel al-Sultan and Saud neighborhoods west of Rafah.
Israeli drones were seen flying heavily over the skies of the Nusayrat Refugee Camp in central Gaza. Airstrikes were also carried out in northern Gaza. The Health Ministry called for urgent blood donations for the wounded and sick at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
Alarming Situation in Khan Younis
Nasser Hospital Emergency Aid Director Muhammed Sakr stated that hundreds of injured people were brought to the hospital in the last 3 hours and that patients were lost due to lack of resources. Sakr drew attention to the inadequacy of medical supplies and stated that they were worried that the number of deaths would increase.
Forced Migration to Al-Mawasi
Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee called for the evacuation of areas east of Khan Younis for security reasons. Israeli forces, who want Palestinians to “forcedly migrate”, claimed the area was a dangerous conflict zone.
On the other hand, it was reported that 90 Palestinians lost their lives in the heavy bombardment carried out by Israel on the Al-Mawasi region, which it had previously declared safe. In total, 38,983 people were killed and 89,727 were injured in the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
