Medical sources announced that 71 Palestinians have been martyred by Israeli occupation forces in the Gaza Strip since dawn today, including 50 people who were waiting for humanitarian aid.

Eyewitnesses reported that over 20 Palestinians were martyred near aid distribution centers in northern Rafah, southern Gaza, while 24 others were killed as a result of an Israeli strike targeting a crowd waiting for aid in the central part of the Strip.

Al-Awda Hospital confirmed that it had received 19 martyrs and 146 injured, including 62 in critical condition, following the Israeli targeting of civilians waiting for aid along Salah al-Din Street, south of Wadi Gaza.
