Israeli assault on Gaza kills children, medics and families amid mounting civilian toll

In the past 24 hours alone, over 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air raids, according to medical sources. Among the dead are at least three children who were killed when an Israeli strike targeted a residential area in Deir el-Balah.
Al-Aqsa Hospital, already on the verge of collapse, is overwhelmed by the wounded, while grieving families bury their dead under the constant threat of more attacks. In Khan Younis, survivors of an Israeli assault on the al-Mawasi displacement camp pick through the ruins of their homes. One young girl is reportedly the sole surviving member of her family.
Israeli airstrikes also killed Dr Marwan al-Sultan, director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital, along with his wife and children.
Makeshift shelters in densely populated areas continue to be bombed, further endangering the lives of over two million Palestinians trapped in Gaza.
Many describe the ongoing Israeli campaign as a war on the civilian population, marked by indiscriminate killings, forced displacement, starvation, and the unbearable trauma of children orphaned by the violence.
