Over 100 killed in 24 hours as Israeli strikes pound shelters and homes
Displacement tents, schools, and hospitals under fire as Gaza death toll nears 58,000; UN warns of fuel collapse and looming humanitarian disaster
GAZA, Palestine (MNTV) — At least 105 Palestinians have been killed and over 530 wounded in the last 24 hours as Israel escalated its air and ground assaults across the Gaza Strip, striking displacement camps, residential neighborhoods, and civilian shelters, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry and local medical sources.
In Gaza City, a series of deadly air raids targeted densely populated areas. A residential home in the Al-Shati refugee camp was flattened, killing 10 people — five of them children — and injuring more than 30.
In the Tel al-Hawa district, four people, including an infant, were killed in an airstrike on a family home. Another raid on a tent near Al-Quds Hospital left one dead and nine injured. In Zaytoun, five displaced people were killed in a tent strike, while two children died in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.
More casualties were reported across central Gaza, especially in Deir al-Balah, al-Bureij, and Nuseirat refugee camps. Israeli airstrikes killed multiple civilians, including a father and his son, and injured several more.
A drone strike killed two civilians in Deir al-Balah, and another strike killed a young girl east of the city. A vehicle outside al-Manfalouti School was hit, killing two and injuring others. Several civilians were wounded in a strike on the Abu Helou School, which was housing displaced families.
In southern Gaza, particularly Khan Younis, the situation worsened dramatically. Israeli jets bombed tents in the al-Mawasi area — previously designated as a “safe zone” — killing seven, including a child and two women.
Another strike on Street 5 in the same area killed a father, mother, and their son. In central Khan Younis, a civilian was killed on Jalal Street, while another died near al-Shuhada Mosque. Strikes near Nasser Hospital killed three people, and one was fatally shot in western Khan Younis.
Two civilians were killed in a strike on a gathering near Site 17 along Khan Younis Road. In Mawasi al-Qarara, a man was killed after his tent was bombed.
Another civilian died in an Israeli drone strike near Bani Suheila Square in eastern Khan Younis. In northwestern Rafah, two were killed and over 35 injured by Israeli gunfire in the al-Shakoush area.
Humanitarian zones and aid routes have also come under fire. A civilian was shot dead while waiting for aid in al-Sudaniya. Displacement tents near the Qatari Committee building were bombed, leaving four dead. A strike in al-Tuffah killed another civilian. In Rimal, six civilians were killed in a tent housing displaced residents.
The United Nations has warned that Gaza’s fuel supplies — blocked by Israel — have reached a “critical point”, threatening the collapse of humanitarian services. Hospitals are on the brink, with only a fraction of their generators still operational, severely limiting surgeries, neonatal care, and water purification.
Meanwhile, political tensions are escalating around Israel’s proposed plan to construct a heavily restricted “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians currently reside. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz insists the facility would provide aid, but rights groups and diplomats have described it as a de facto detention camp.
U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy voiced strong concern, stating that if reports of the plan’s nature are true, “it would be a big sticking point for getting that ceasefire.” The proposed camp would screen up to 600,000 displaced people, reportedly barring them from leaving.
Since the start of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, at least 57,680 Palestinians have been killed and 137,409 injured, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Over 770 Palestinians have also died at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites — controversial displacement centers backed by the U.S. and Israel — where humanitarian conditions remain dire and security restrictions are tight.
As Israeli bombardment continues unabated, international calls for a ceasefire grow louder — but for over 2 million Palestinians still trapped in Gaza, nowhere remains safe.
