Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza: Dozens of Palestinians Killed, Thousands Displaced and at Risk of Famine
On Friday, Israel continued its bombardment of the Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of dozens of Palestinians.
Two Israeli strikes in the Al-Shejaia suburb of Gaza City killed 17 people, including at least 10 policemen.
Another air strike in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp killed eight people.
The Al Shifa hospital in Gaza City was also a focal point of fighting, with Israeli strikes reportedly killing several people.
The Israeli military stated that they were targeting militants and military infrastructure while minimizing harm to civilians and medical facilities.
The Al Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip, which was the biggest hospital before the war and had been partially operational in north Gaza, was housing displaced civilians.
The Israeli military conducted raids in central and southern areas, including Khan Younis and Al-Karara, where they exchanged fire with Palestinian gunmen and killed them.
Hamas' armed wing claimed their fighters targeted Israeli forces near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.
In the far south of the Strip, Israel continued bombarding Rafah, where over half of Gaza's population was sheltering.
An air strike on a house in Rafah killed 12 Palestinians.
A military offensive by Israel in the Gaza Strip since October 7 has resulted in the deaths of over 32,000 Palestinians, with 71 more killed in the last 24 hours, according to Gaza health authorities.
Thousands more are believed to be buried under rubble, and over 80 percent of Gazans have been displaced, with many at risk of famine.
The conflict began when Hamas militants breached the border and attacked communities in southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 people and the abduction of 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
In the northern Gaza Strip, where famine is imminent, an elderly man died of malnutrition and lack of medication.
On Thursday, the World Court ordered Israel to take action to ensure basic food supplies to Gaza's population and prevent the spread of famine.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a renewed binding order for Israel to allow the UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, to deliver food and nutrition convoys to northern Gaza on a daily basis.
Israel had previously denied UNRWA's requests to approve these convoys since March 21.
Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, urged Israel to reverse its decision to alleviate the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza.
