At least 60 Palestinians were martyred in the last 24 hours as the Zionist occupation forces intensified their genocidal bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip, continuing a brutal campaign that has already claimed tens of thousands of lives.

Health officials in Gaza reported that Israeli airstrikes targeted civilian homes, shelters, and refugee camps across the coastal enclave, including northern, central, and southern Gaza.

In one of the most harrowing attacks, Israeli warplanes struck a home and a school sheltering displaced families in northern Gaza, killing 22 civilians—most of them women and children. Another deadly strike hit the town of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, murdering 13 people. The Nuseirat refugee camp also came under attack, where 15 Palestinians lost their lives. Further south in Khan Younis, two more strikes claimed 10 lives, according to Nasser Hospital.

The massacres come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—under mounting international criticism—allowed a small number of humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza for the first time in over two months. Yet the token gesture, far from addressing the humanitarian catastrophe, was denounced by the United Nations as grossly insufficient. UN agencies stressed that a minimum of 600 trucks per day are needed to meet urgent needs, while only a fraction are being permitted to enter.

The people of Gaza continue to endure collective punishment, starvation, and indiscriminate violence under a suffocating blockade, while the international community’s calls for a ceasefire remain unanswered by Tel Aviv.

As the humanitarian crisis deepens and the bombs keep falling, Palestinian voices and resistance movements insist that the only path forward is an end to the occupation, an immediate halt to the genocidal war, and full accountability for the crimes committed against the people of Gaza. (ILKHA)
