Israeli occupation airstrikes killed four Palestinians and injured others in a bombing that targeted a house in the Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza City.
The number of Palestinians killed while waiting for aid at the Zikim crossing, northwest of the Gaza Strip, has risen to 16, with 40 others injured.
The Palestinian News and Information Agency, WAFA, reported that the occupation forces targeted those waiting for humanitarian aid in the Sudanese area, northwest of the Gaza Strip, killing eight citizens and wounding others.
She added that five people were killed when the occupation forces bombed a group of citizens in the Al-Jami' compound in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also reported that Al-Saraya Field Hospital received approximately 30 wounded people waiting for aid in the northern Gaza Strip.
In the central Gaza Strip, seven Palestinians were killed in the city of Deir al-Balah, five of them in a bombing of a civilian gathering, and two others in an attack on a civilian car.
The death toll from starvation is rising.
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday that the death toll from Israeli starvation and malnutrition has risen to 222, including 101 children, after the deaths of five starving Palestinians in the past 24 hours.
The ministry said in a statement: "Gaza hospitals recorded five deaths due to malnutrition over the past 24 hours, including a child."
She added: "This brings the total number of victims of famine and malnutrition to 222 martyrs (since the start of the Israeli genocide on October 7, 2023), including 101 children."

In this context, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced that the total amount of aid that entered the Strip over the past 15 days, including Sunday, amounted to only 1,334 trucks out of a total of 9,000 requested, representing approximately 14% of actual needs.
The office explained in a statement that "only 124 aid trucks entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday, most of which were subjected to looting and robbery amidst deliberate security chaos created by the Israeli occupation as part of its policy of engineering starvation and chaos, aimed at undermining the steadfastness of our Palestinian people."
He pointed out that "the Gaza Strip needs more than 600 trucks of various types of aid daily to meet the minimum needs of 2.4 million people, amid a near-total collapse of the infrastructure due to the ongoing war and genocide."
The government office confirms in its statements that most trucks entering the Gaza Strip are subject to looting and robbery amidst the deliberate security chaos created by Israel.
On Tuesday, the United Nations confirmed that the Gaza Strip needs hundreds of aid trucks daily to end the famine it has been suffering from due to the blockade and the war of extermination waged by Israel for 22 months.
Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza, preventing the entry of any humanitarian aid. This has plunged the Strip into a state of famine despite the backlog of aid trucks at its borders. Israel allows in limited quantities that fall far short of the minimum needs of the population.
The World Food Programme recently warned that "a third of Gaza's population has not eaten for several days," describing the humanitarian situation in the Strip as "unprecedented in terms of levels of hunger and despair."
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 Israeli genocide left 61,499 Palestinians dead, 153,575 injured, and more than 9,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands were displaced, and a famine claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.
