Arabic version: غارات إسرائيلية تقتل سبعة في غزة وتدمّر مستودع مساعدات

According to Al Jazeera, Israeli strikes killed at least seven Palestinians across Gaza on Tuesday, according to local medical sources. The reported deaths came during what the outlet described as ongoing violations of a ceasefire that took effect last October.

Three Palestinians were killed and others injured when a strike hit a home in Beit Lahiya near Kamal Adwan Hospital, a source at al-Shifa Hospital said. Earlier, a drone strike on a gathering of civilians in Khan Younis’s al-Mawasi area killed one man and injured three others. Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Nour Khaled said three other Palestinians died from wounds sustained in earlier Israeli raids on Khan Younis.

Medical Aid for Palestinians said an overnight Israeli military strike destroyed a warehouse holding nutrition supplies for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. The warehouse belongs to Ard El Insan, a local organisation that works with the group to support about 60 medical points serving up to 100 women and children daily. MAP said collapsed walls and roof sections buried the supplies, and that the entire stock was damaged and unfit for human consumption.

Sahar Salem, Ard El Insan’s project coordinator, said the loss would affect the organisation’s ability to reach women and children needing services. Separately, Gaza Health Ministry Director-General Dr Munir al-Bursh warned of critical oxygen shortages, saying only 12 of about 34 oxygen stations remained operational. He said any additional breakdown could cut off oxygen to patients.
