Gaza Strip has endured 39 consecutive days of relentless attacks by the Zionist occupation forces. This unyielding assault has seen intensified raids, occupation of hospitals, bombardments, and siege upon innocent citizens, resulting in countless massacres and crimes of genocide.
Despite the fierce resistance from the Palestinian people, the Israeli incursions and destruction persist on multiple fronts.
At dawn on Tuesday, the occupation aircraft bombed two homes belonging to the Al-Agha and Abu Gemayzeh families in the eastern line of Khan Yunis, leaving 13 citizens dead and 26 others injured.
In another horrifying incident, last night, six citizens lost their lives and several more were injured after the Israeli occupation aircraft targeted a house in the heart of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.
These bombings contribute to the growing number of casualties and the widespread devastation that plagues the region.
As the Israeli occupation entity continues to wreak havoc, large areas of Gaza continue to be bombed and destroyed.

For 39 days now, the air, sea, and land aggression have left Palestinians grappling with the relentless attacks, while maintaining their steadfast resistance against Israeli forces attempting to infiltrate the besieged Strip.
The deaths of two revered volleyball players, Hassan Zuaiter and Ibrahim Qusaya, have rocked the nation. They were catapulted into fame due to the Israeli occupation aircraft bombing the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
This incident highlights the indiscriminate nature of the Israeli airstrikes, targeting not only homes but also civilians attempting to flee from the rubble.
Despite such devastating circumstances, the accessibility of medical aid and emergency services has been impeded, leaving martyrs, the wounded, and ruined neighborhoods in a state of despair.
Food insecurity
On top of the atrocities committed, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has officially declared that all Gazans are facing “food insecurity.”
The dire shortage of essential resources exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, as people struggle to find sustenance amidst the chaos.
Hospitals
hospitals in Gaza, including Al-Shifa, Al-Nasr, Indonesian, and Jerusalem hospitals, continue to remain under siege, leaving medical professionals unable to provide adequate care in the face of a catastrophic health crisis.

Despite the occupation’s relentless onslaught and the severe suffering of the Palestinian people, the Israeli tanks continue to surround hospitals, demonstrating a blatant disregard for human life.
The government media office in Gaza has condemned the occupation’s claims about hospitals as “blatant lies” and a part of its psychological warfare against the Palestinian population.
These falsehoods only seek to pave the way for further destruction of healthcare facilities, putting patients, medical staff, and displaced individuals at even greater risk.
11,240 Martyrs
The devastating toll of this aggression becomes starkly apparent as the Information Office reports that a staggering 11,240 Palestinians have lost their lives since the start of the Israeli bombing on October 7th.

In addition, thousands of displaced individuals find themselves trapped in hospitals, enduring unbearable conditions exacerbated by shortages of medical supplies, interruptions in electricity and water supply, and a scarcity of crucial medicines.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation entity has faced accusations from the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, regarding their hesitancy to negotiate the release of prisoners held in the Gaza Strip.
The procrastination by the occupation in responding to demands for the release of “200 children and 75 women” Palestinians from their prisons has further added to the humanitarian crisis in the region.
As the situation worsens, the director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip warns that within 48 hours, humanitarian operations will cease due to the denial of fuel entry into Gaza.
