At least 24 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn
Hospital sources have told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic that most of the 24 people killed in the Israeli attacks across the besieged Palestinian territory since dawn were women and children.
The majority of the killings were recorded in central and southern Gaza.

Sources from central Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital have told Al Jazeera that 13 of the 24 Palestinians killed across Gaza since dawn were waiting in line for the distribution of nutritional supplements in Deir el-Balah.
Many of those killed in the city were women and children. Dozens of injured people also included women and children.
Child among 4 people killed in Israeli helicopter strike in Gaza City’s Zeitoun area
Four Palestinians, including a child, have been killed in an Israeli helicopter strike outside their home in Gaza City, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic. The attack took place in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, the team said.
One operational GHF aid site cannot meet Gaza’s needs
The GHF’s announcement that it is suspending operations at a number of its aid distribution sites in Gaza leaves only one site still open. That cannot be enough to meet the needs of hungry Palestinians in Gaza.
It will mean people will be forced to travel to the southern part of the territory in order to get food supplies, and will often return empty-handed after making the long and dangerous journey to Rafah.
Amid Israel’s blockade, hungry Palestinians have come to rely on food supplies provided by charitable organisations.
Earlier this morning, at least a dozen Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike while they were waiting for a food supplement to be distributed by a charitable organisation very close to where we are in Deir el-Balah.
Tragically, these kinds of horrific scenes have become routine in Gaza, leading to widespread calls for the resumption of normal flows of aid into the territory to avoid the dangerous, chaotic scenes we’re seeing.
4 wasn't enough, the UN had 400 distribution sites.
Gaza death toll since dawn rises to 47
At least 47 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, with the largest death toll recorded in the central city of Deir el-Balah, according to medical sources speaking to Al Jazeera.
The latest killing came in northern Gaza’s Jabalia al-Balad, where at least one person was killed and several injured, according to a source at Gaza City’s Ahli Hospital.
Hamas says deadly Deir el-Balah attack a new ‘heinous crime’ by Israel
The Palestinian group has strongly condemned the Israeli air attack that, as we reported earlier, killed at least 13 Palestinians, including children, and wounded more as they waited in line in Deir el-Balah to get nutritional supplements.
In a statement, Hamas said the attack “represents a new heinous crime committed” by Israel “as part of its ongoing campaign of genocide in the Strip”.
“The terrorist Netanyahu government is escalating its brutal massacres against innocent civilians in schools, streets, displacement camps, and civilian centres, in a systematic behaviour that amounts to a full-fledged ethnic cleansing crime, perpetrated in full view of the world.”
Hamas also urged action from countries in the region and across the world to stop the killing. The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted a Hamas “terrorist” who was part of the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, without providing evidence.
