The Israeli artillery continued to shell east of the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless air and ground attacks for four days, forcing residents to flee towards Deir al-Balah.
Israeli tanks also fired several shells on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Simultaneously, fighter jets carried out a series of intense airstrikes on Khan Yunis city in the south, resulting in the killing of one civilian and injuring another in the bombing of the Al-Aqad family residence.
The World Health Organization has expressed grave concerns about the escalating risk of infectious diseases in Gaza due to the massive displacement of people, multiple displacements for some families, and overcrowded health facilities serving as shelters.
In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli offensive on Gaza since October 7 has claimed over 21,600 lives, with approximately 56,000 wounded, including thousands missing, predominantly comprising children and women.
The situation remains critical as the war shows no signs of abating, leaving Gaza in a dire state of devastation and despair.
