The ministry said in its daily statistical statement that 123 martyrs and 437 wounded arrived at Gaza hospitals over the past 24 hours. It noted that the death toll from Palestinian casualties since Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18 has risen to 10,201, with 42,484 wounded.
She explained that the death toll among those waiting for aid has risen to 1,859 since May 27, with more than 13,594 injured, following the killing of 21 Palestinians and the injury of 185 in the past 24 hours.
Far from the oversight of the United Nations and international relief organizations, Tel Aviv began implementing an aid distribution plan on May 27, which Palestinians have come to call "death traps." This plan is supported by Israel and the United States, but rejected by the United Nations.
The Ministry of Health also reported the deaths of eight Palestinians in the past 24 hours due to complications from famine and malnutrition, including three children. This brings the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 235, including 106 children.
In detail, the Israeli occupation forces continued targeting civilians across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing at least 25 Palestinians, including seven members of one family, and wounding others.
The attacks included shelling of tents housing displaced people, homes, and gatherings of Palestinians waiting for aid in Gaza City and the central Gaza Strip. In the most recent raid, four Palestinians waiting for aid were killed near the Netzarim axis in the central Gaza Strip. Twelve members of the Abu Daf family were also killed in the Zeitoun neighborhood, and seven members of the Abu Hanideq family, including five children and a woman, were killed in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood.

In a related development, UN experts warned on Wednesday that the deliberate destruction of Gaza's healthcare system by Israeli occupation forces constitutes "medical genocide," accusing Israel of deliberately attacking and starving healthcare workers and hospitals with the aim of eliminating medical care in the besieged enclave.
Special Rapporteurs Taling Mofokeng and Francesca Albanese stressed that what is happening constitutes an act of genocide and is taking place in front of the world's eyes, noting that the apartheid system and ongoing attacks "are exhausting what remains of Gaza's medical resources."
“Health and care workers have been repeatedly targeted, detained and tortured, and now, like the rest of the population, they are starving,” they said.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the operation.
