News Center- At least 23,357 Palestinians have been killed, 59,410 injured in the Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, according to the Gaza’s health ministry.

According to local reports, seven people were killed and 25 people, including women and children were injured in Israeli airstrikes on the village of Ebu Namus, east of Khan Yunis Governorate, and five civilians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli airstrikes targeting a house and a shelter of displaced people in the north of the city of Rafah.

Call on the international community

An Israeli airstrike targeted a house near the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah, Gaza's government media office said in a statement. At least 40 people were killed and injured in the airstrike, said the statement, adding, “There is no safe zone in Gaza.” The media office also called on the international community to stop the genocide against civilians, children and women in Gaza.

‘The health sector in Gaza is being slowly choked off’

Martin Griffiths, UN Humanitarian Chief, released a statement on his social media account. “The health sector in Gaza is being slowly choked off as hospitals continue to come under fire. And what happens when the health system collapses? Pregnant women can’t deliver their babies safely. The sick and wounded can’t get treatment. People die. This war needs to end,” he wrote.

Three hospitals at the risk of closures

 “The ongoing hostilities in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis – coupled with evacuation orders in nearby areas – are putting three hospitals at the risk of closures: Al-Aqsa, Nasser and the Gaza European hospital,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Wednesday at a press conference.

“Some 350,000 people with chronic illnesses and about 485,000 people with mental health disorders continue to experience disruptions in their treatments in Gaza. Some 1.9 million displaced people are at risk of communicable diseases because of poor living conditions, overcrowded shelters, and lack of access to proper water, sanitation and hygiene facilities,” Stephane Dujarric said.

45% people experience severe hunger in Gaza

Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, wrote on X that 45% people experience severe hunger in Gaza. “In some areas 9 out of 10 families go 24h without food.”
