Gaza death toll rises

The Palestinian Health Ministry says at least 80 bodies and 304 wounded people have arrived at hospitals across Gaza over the past 24 hours.

Since Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas on March 18, at least 6,860 Palestinians have been killed and more than 24,220 wounded.

Since the start of the war on Gaza in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed at least 57,418 Palestinians and wounded 136,261, with thousands of additional victims buried under the rubble.


More casualties reported across Gaza

We are now receiving news of more Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. Here are the latest:

  • A source at al-Shifa Hospital said six Palestinians were killed and many wounded in an Israeli attack on a school-turned-shelter for displaced people in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp. Palestinian sources said the bombing targeted the Abu Asi School, noting that children were among those killed.
  • Sources at Nasser Hospital said three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire near an aid distribution site near Rafah in the south.

Israeli attacks across Gaza today have killed at least 48 people, including 36 in Gaza City.


Israeli forces blow up school in Gaza’s Rafah

The Israeli army has blown up another school in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

In addition to their bombardment, Israeli soldiers have destroyed countless buildings across the besieged enclave since the start of the war by planting explosives inside. They have filmed and released footage of many such incidents.


Victims of Israeli attacks reduced to pieces

Once again, we’re seeing a significant surge in aerial attacks across Gaza. Those attacked include people inside tents, homes and simply walking on the streets or queuing for water and food in various areas across the Gaza Strip.

Yesterday, there was an attack near a small water desalination plant where people had gathered. That plant, located in the heart of Gaza City, has now been forced out of service after being struck.

Meanwhile, rescue efforts are continuing in the Tuffah neighborhood, where a Palestinian family lost many members. Some are believed to be trapped under the rubble.

Initial footage from the site shows Palestinian Civil Defence crews collecting remains from the ground. Many victims, including children, were reduced to small pieces which had to be placed in plastic bags for transfer to al-Shifa Hospital.


At least five more killed in Gaza City as Israeli attacks continue

A source at al-Ahli Arab Hospital tells Al Jazeera that five Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Remal neighbourhood, in the west of Gaza City.
