Medical sources have confirmed that 75 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes on various areas of the Gaza Strip since the early hours of the day.

WAFA reported that an Israeli drone struck civilians in the Al-Nasr neighbourhood, north of Rafah, resulting in one fatality. Several others were injured in the attack.

In a separate incident, the Israeli military targeted a tent sheltering displaced families in the northern part of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, leaving several civilians wounded.

Simultaneously, medical teams and civil defense personnel recovered the bodies of 12 people and more than 20 injured individuals following Israeli airstrikes on several homes in the Turkman area of the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in Gaza City.

The ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 50,523 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 114,776 others injured.

Over 1,000 Palestinians, including at least 322 children, have been killed since Israel resumed its war on Gaza on 18 March, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

It added that 2,400 others were injured during the same period.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.
