Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continue their campaign of genocide against the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, systematically targeting civilians in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, as Palestinians endure unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
At dawn on Tuesday, 15 Palestinians were killed in separate attacks carried out by the occupation across Gaza, part of the ongoing genocide that has inflicted staggering human losses and devastating damage on the civilian population.
Homes were struck in multiple neighbourhoods of Gaza City, including Al-Zaytoun, where four Palestinians from the Al-Husari family were killed and others injured, and another four were killed in a strike on the Al-Nadeem family home in the same area.
In southern Gaza, fatalities were reported in the homes of the Salmi and Al-Habeel families, while a child was killed and 11 others wounded by Israeli fire as they waited for humanitarian aid near Wadi Gaza — a stark illustration of a deliberate policy to target civilians even as they seek relief.
In Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, five Palestinians, including an entire family, were killed in an Israeli strike on a displaced persons’ tent, underscoring the occupation’s continued targeting of residential areas and refugee camps despite the catastrophic humanitarian situation.
This aggressive campaign is accompanied by a suffocating blockade and deliberate deprivation of food and medicine, deepening the suffering of the population and accelerating the collapse of living conditions.
So far, this genocidal war has left 61,499 Palestinians dead and 153,575 wounded, along with thousands missing and hundreds of thousands displaced — one of the worst humanitarian disasters of the modern era.
What is unfolding in Gaza is a textbook case of genocide, demanding urgent international action to end these crimes and protect Palestinian civilians from a war machine that makes no distinction between combatant and civilian.
