According to local accounts, an Israeli strike on the Maghazi camp in central Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least two people. Additionally, the northwest section of the Nuseirat refugee camp was shelled.
In the meantime, the UN is announcing the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where 80% of the Palestinian population is internally displaced and faces starvation, rampant illness, and a failing healthcare system.
- Twelve Palestinians—nine of them from the same family—were killed by an Israeli air strike in a “safe zone” after they complied with Israel’s orders to evacuate eastern Khan Younis, according to the Associated Press.
- With 1.9 million people reported to have been displaced in Gaza, the UN believes that Israel’s military order may have impacted up to 250,000 people for civilians to evacuate locations close to the southern city of Khan Younis.
- Only three patients remain at the European facility in Khan Younis after hundreds of sick and injured people evacuated, according to World Health Organization delegate Rik Peeperkorn, who is appealing for the facility to be spared from attacks as an Israeli ground invasion approaches.
- Six Palestinians, including a woman and a child, have died in the region in the last twenty-four hours as a result of an Israeli airstrike on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.
- Israel’s war on Gaza has resulted in at least 37,925 deaths and 87,141 injuries since October 7. An estimated 1,139 people have died in Israel as a result of the attacks led by Hamas, and many more are currently in detention.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Hamas claimed that it “has demonstrated the necessary positivity in all stages of negotiations” to come to a “comprehensive and acceptable agreement based on the just demands of our people.”
