Every day in Gaza begins with fresh scenes of tragedy. For the 22nd consecutive month, Israel continues a systematic campaign of genocide, targeting the very foundations of Palestinian life, homes, food, and survival, with blatant disregard for international law or civilian protections.
From dawn on Wednesday until this report was filed, Israeli occupation forces killed 29 Palestinians, including 10 members of a single family, and wounded others in a series of airstrikes and shelling. The attacks targeted tents for displaced people, residential buildings, and groups of civilians awaiting aid in Gaza City and central areas of the Strip.
In one of the most recent incidents, Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire on crowds gathered near the Netzarim corridor in central Gaza, killing four.
An airstrike on the Abu Daff family home in al-Zaytoun (southeast Gaza City) killed 12 people. In Tel al-Hawa, a strike on the Abu Hanideq family’s tents on 8th Street killed seven—five of them children and one woman.
Another Palestinian was killed while waiting for aid near Netzarim, and a separate strike in the southern region of Morag claimed another life.
These daily massacres reflect a deliberate and systematic targeting of civilians and displacement zones, in flagrant violation of the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law, which prohibit attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, categorising such acts as war crimes.
The scale and repetition of these crimes, coupled with mass starvation and destruction, meet the legal definition of genocide: acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national or ethnic group.
Since the onslaught began on 7 October 2023, Israeli war has resulted in 61,599 killed,154,088 injured, over 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and 227 starvation deaths (including 103 children).
Despite this catastrophic toll, there remains a shocking absence of meaningful international action to end the crisis or hold perpetrators accountable.
