The Israeli occupation forces in Gaza have continued their relentless bombing campaign, causing widespread casualties and destruction. Despite a lack of progress in their ground operation, the Israeli enemy has shown no mercy, targeting civilians, residential areas, and crucial infrastructure. Shockingly, this brutal assault is being supported politically, militarily, and security-wise by the United States.
At dawn today, dozens of innocent citizens lost their lives and sustained injuries when the Israeli enemy bombed the cities of Gaza and Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. More casualties were reported from the targeting of a house in Deir al-Balah this morning.

The occupation forces launched violent attacks from the air and with artillery in various areas of the Gaza Strip, including east of Gaza City. Furthermore, the Khalifa School, sheltering over 10,000 displaced individuals, has been besieged by the occupiers, with reports of snipers taking aim at those seeking refuge.

The situation in Gaza’s healthcare system is dire, with the Director General of the Ministry of Health revealing that the number of reported martyrs is significantly lower than the reality due to many victims being trapped under rubble. Moreover, electricity shortages at Al-Shifa Medical Complex have worsened the crisis, caused by a lack of diesel fuel and the occupation’s deliberate destruction of vital oxygen stations and generators.
The European Hospital in Gaza is also overwhelmed, with the director reporting that numerous wounded and sick individuals are left lying on the ground due to the mounting pressure.

Yesterday, the occupation launched a relentless series of raids and bombardments across the Gaza Strip, inflicting death and injury upon countless citizens. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza confirmed that 71 martyrs and 160 injured individuals arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital within the past 24 hours alone, as the occupation’s continuous bombing targeted the Central Governorate. Another 62 martyrs and 99 injured were received at the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza during the same period.

As the world watches, the United States of America shamelessly exercised its veto power in the Security Council, effectively blocking a resolution calling for a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
