GAZA: Dozens of people, including children and women, were killed and others were injured since dawn today, and dozens of homes and buildings were destroyed in the ongoing Israeli occupation bombing of the Gaza Strip by land, sea and air. Local sources reported that dozens of people were killed and others were injured in the ongoing occupation attacks on Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, and on several areas in the central Gaza Strip. During the past 24 hours, 55 people were killed in Israeli raids on homes in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip. The occupation boats intensively bombed the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, causing dozens of deaths and injuries. The Shujaiya neighborhood and the Jabalia area, east and north of the Gaza Strip, are also witnessing violent bombardment by occupation warplanes. The Civil Defense in the northern Gaza Strip reported that its crews were unable to reach the dead and wounded due to the intense Israeli bombing. The Palestinian Red Crescent Socie ty said that the occupation forces are still besieging the Jabalia Ambulance Center, threatening the safety of 127 citizens, including medical personnel, and 22 wounded. Medical sources announced the death of three wounded people due to a lack of medical supplies at al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City. The World Health Organization recently said that the emergency department at al-Shifa had turned into a bloodbath and needed rehabilitation after it was severely damaged by the Israeli bombing. It explained that tens of thousands of displaced people took refuge in this complex, which lacks water and food, noting that the team that visited the complex described the emergency services as a 'bloodbath', with hundreds of infected patients inside it and new patients arriving every minute, noting that patients suffering from trauma receive treatment on the floor and that measures to relieve pain are very limited and even unavailable. The occupation forces meanwhile continue to cut off communications and Interne t services in the Gaza Strip for the second day in a row. According to medical reports, 20,000 people were killed in the Israeli bombardment, including 8,000 children and 6,200 women, while the number of wounded has reached 52,600.
