The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced in a statement on Saturday that hospitals in the Strip had received more than 200 martyrs and 1,037 wounded in the past 48 hours, bringing the death toll from the Israeli aggression to 55,908 martyrs and 131,138 wounded since October 7, 2023.
Medical sources in Gaza hospitals said that 26 Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Saturday, including 11 people waiting for aid.
Medical sources reported that six Palestinians were killed and at least 10 others were injured by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire as they waited outside an aid distribution point west of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat also announced the martyrdom of five Palestinians and the injury of 15 others by Israeli occupation forces while attempting to obtain aid near the Shuhada' Junction in the central Gaza Strip.
Three Palestinians were also killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Zeitoun neighborhood, south of Gaza City.

A Palestinian was also killed by Israeli occupation forces northwest of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide left more than 185,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and famine claimed the lives of many, including children, as well as widespread destruction.
