Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and injured today, as a result of the Israeli occupation’s ongoing aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip which continues for the 34th day. In addition, the Israeli aggression destroyed a number of homes and hospitals, and the occupation continued to prevent the entry of food, medical supplies and fuel to the Strip.
Palestinian media reported that, during the past hours, the occupation aircraft launched raids on homes in Shawa Square area and Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza, Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south of Gaza Strip, Jabalia in its north, and Deir Al-Balah in its centre, which led to the martyrdom and injury of dozens.
The occupation warplanes and artillery bombed the gate of Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital and the courtyard of Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Gaza media office said: The occupation’s bombardment of hospitals is a war crime according to international humanitarian law, and is criminalized by 16 international agreements and UN resolutions that guarantee the protection of health facilities.
Despite this supposed protection, the Nazi occupation ignores it, bombing 8 hospitals during the past three days, leaving dozens of martyrs and wounded. Since the start of its aggression on the seventh of last October, 18 hospitals went out of service, the office added.
10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children, were martyred and 26,475 wounded since the start of the aggression.
