Gaza Civil Defence carries out dozens of rescue operations amid Israeli attacks

Gaza’s Civil Defence agency says its teams carried out 44 rescue operations across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours during ongoing Israeli bombardment.

In its daily report, the agency said the missions included 10 firefighting efforts, three rescue missions, 20 medical evacuations, and 11 other emergency responses.

Here are key incidents by governorate:

North Gaza:

  • A fire was extinguished in an apartment belonging to the Ashour family after it was struck by Israeli artillery.
  • A gunshot victim was evacuated from the al-Mashtal area to al-Shifa Hospital.
  • Another wounded person was transferred from the as-Saftawi area after being shot by an Israeli quadcopter drone.

Gaza City:

  • Firefighters responded to a blaze in the al-Assi residential building following an Israeli strike on al-Nafaq Street.
  • Displaced people were evacuated from the al-Deira Hotel due to cracks in the building’s structure.
  • Two sick individuals were transported from the Amir al-Mansi School, which is sheltering displaced families, to al-Shifa Hospital.

Central Gaza:

  • The body of a slain Palestinian was recovered near MawaBureij and transported to al-Awda Hospital.

Gaza death toll rises to 77 since dawn

Israeli attacks have killed at least 77 people across Gaza today, medical sources tell Al Jazeera. Among those killed, 31 were aid seekers.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 59,921 people and wounded 145,233 since October 2023. The number of dead is estimated to be far higher, with thousands of bodies buried in the vast debris of blown-up buildings.
