In another wave of deadly airstrikes, Israeli warplanes bombed residential buildings in Gaza, killing at least 31 more Palestinians, according to international media reports. The attacks targeted densely populated areas, including Jabalia al-Balad in northern Gaza, where most of the casualties were reported.
This brings the 24-hour death toll to 92, making it one of the deadliest days in recent weeks. The strikes follow a pattern of intensified Israeli military operations across the besieged strip, especially in the north where families had sought shelter.
Just a day earlier, Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid, killing another 31 Palestinians. Human rights groups and international agencies have condemned the repeated attacks on aid convoys and displaced civilians.
Meanwhile, the United Nations and other international organizations have voiced grave concerns over the worsening situation. UNICEF warned of a dramatic rise in the number of malnourished children in Gaza, stating that many lack access to food, clean water, and medical care.
Infrastructure has been severely damaged, with water, sanitation, and healthcare systems collapsing under pressure. UNICEF stressed that without an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian access, the lives of thousands of children are at risk. Global pressure continues to mount for an end to hostilities and protection of civilians under international law.
