In the central Gaza Strip, an Israeli drone launched an airstrike west of Deir al-Balah. Two people were killed and others were injured when the occupation forces bombed a tent housing displaced persons west of the Nuseirat camp.

In Rafah, five people were killed near an aid center, northwest of the city.
The new victims of Israeli aggression are in addition to the 105 fatalities recorded in hours by the Gaza Ministry of Health's latest report.
Meanwhile, al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Gaza has urgently announced that its main generator has failed, with no spare parts available for repair.
Compounding the crisis, the remaining fuel supply is expected to run out within hours, placing the lives of hundreds of patients, including those in intensive care, at immediate risk.
A complete shutdown of the hospital would bring critical healthcare services to a halt for over half a million residents in the central governorate.
The hospital has put out an appeal to the international community and all relevant authorities to take immediate action to save the hospital and prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.

Starved and slaughtered: Palestinians bombed at Gaza food 'aid site'
In one of the most harrowing massacres to date, Israeli occupation forces conducted a mass killing of starved Palestinians awaiting food aid in Khan Younis early Tuesday morning, killing more than 60 Palestinians and injuring over 200 others, including at least 20 in critical condition. The attack, confirmed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, struck near the al-Tahlia roundabout, a known distribution point for dwindling humanitarian relief. Survivors described scenes of utter horror: children torn apart by shrapnel, bloodied bodies strewn among plastic bags of flour. Emergency, intensive care, and operating room departments are experiencing severe overcrowding with the influx of deaths and injuries, the Ministry revealed, highlighting the increasingly catastrophic situation of the healthcare system in the Strip. It revealed that medical teams are operating with limited supplies of life-saving medications and supplies, renewing its urgent appeal to all relevant authorities to increase relevant aid. Concurrently, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that two Palestinians were killed by Israeli occupation forces near Street 10 in southern Gaza City. In a separate tragedy, an Israeli airstrike on Old Gaza Street in Jabalia, northern Gaza, killed a young Palestinian girl. #WATCH | Footage shows the aftermath of a massacre committed by the Israeli occupation, whereby 45 #Palestinians were martyred and hundreds were wounded as Israeli occupation forces targeted aid seekers, east of Khan Younis, southern #Gaza. total number of Palestinians killed across the Gaza Strip since dawn has climbed to 64, as Israeli forces continue to intensify attacks on civilians. Many of the victims were targeted while attempting to access humanitarian aid, with additional deaths and injuries reported in the north of the Strip during aid distribution. As Gaza's healthcare system teeters on collapse, Nasser Medical Complex, the main hospital in Khan Younis, struggles to absorb the influx of victims. Emergency rooms overflowed, surgeons worked without anesthesia, and corridors filled with the cries of grieving families. Doctors, already working on skeleton staff and minimal supplies, reported dozens of life-threatening injuries and warned that many more may succumb to injuries in the coming hours without urgent intervention. Even as scenes of carnage emerge daily from across Gaza, Western governments remain largely unshaken in their support. The US administration continues to funnel weapons and political cover. European capitals issue statements of 'concern' while abstaining from meaningful action. And the UN, constrained and defanged, pleads powerlessly. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Tuesday that hospitals received the bodies of 61 martyrs, including six retrieved from under the rubble, and 397 injuries over 24 hours. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment. Since October 7, 2023, as of June 16, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 55,493 Palestinians killed and 129,320 injured. Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 5,194 killed and 17,279 wounded. Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine looms over Gaza, 59 starved Palestinians were killed since early morning, and over 200 were injured while trying to receive aid at designated 'aid distribution sites' and were later transported to hospitals, as per the Ministry's report. The death toll among Palestinians killed while seeking food aid in designated distribution zones has now climbed to 397, with more than 3,031 others wounded, according to the report.

26 Palestinians killed in latest wave of Israeli bombings on Gaza
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Saturday that hospitals received the bodies of 59 martyrs, including nine retrieved from under the rubble, and 208 injuries over 24 hours. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment. Since October 7, 2023, as of June 16, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 57,882 Palestinians killed and 138,095 injured. Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 7,311 killed and 26,054 wounded. Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine looms over Gaza, 17 starved Palestinians were killed since early morning, and over 53 were injured while trying to receive aid at designated 'aid distribution sites' and were later transported to hospitals, as per the Ministry's report. The death toll among Palestinians killed while seeking food aid in designated distribution zones has now climbed to 805, with more than 5,252 others wounded, according to the report. At least 26 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in a series of Israeli air and artillery strikes across the Gaza Strip. The attacks targeted residential buildings and shelters housing forcibly displaced families in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis. According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the bombardment intensified in the early hours, striking multiple densely populated areas. Casualties were reported in several neighborhoods, with a number of those killed being women and children. Among the victims was Yousef al-Zaq, a figure whose life came to symbolize the enduring struggle of the Palestinian people. He was killed when an airstrike struck his family's apartment on Al-Thawra Street in central Gaza. Born in 2008 inside Israeli prisons, Yousef was once recognized as the youngest prisoner in the world; a child whose first breath was taken behind bars, beside his detained mother, Fatima al-Zaq. Their story captured international attention at the time. Both were eventually released, but Yousef's life, marked from the start by occupation and resistance, ended under the same shadow that defined his birth. Born in an Israeli prison in 2008 before his mother's release, Yousef Al-Zaq, once the world's youngest prisoner was martyred today in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza. death has resonated widely, highlighting the generational toll of the war on Palestinian families. In western Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed in a strike on a building that housed displaced individuals. Another strike targeted the home of the al-Safadi family on Yafa Street, resulting in the deaths of three people. In a separate incident, four Palestinians were killed near the Islamic University gate when a tent sheltering them was hit. Three others were killed in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood after a strike struck a residential apartment. Concurrently, a new massacre unfolded in the al-Manasra displacement camp in Deir al-Balah, where Sohaib al-Qarinawi, his wife, and their children were all killed when their tent was bombed. These attacks come amid a deepening humanitarian crisis, as tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians remain without safe shelter, frequently targeted in places once considered refuge. On a related note, the UN human rights office reported on Friday that it has documented at least 798 Palestinian fatalities linked to aid distribution points in Gaza, including those operated by the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), as well as sites near humanitarian convoys run by other relief agencies, including the United Nations. The GHF, which began "distributing aid" in late May, relies on private US logistics and security contractors to deliver supplies into Gaza, bypassing the UN-coordinated aid system that "Israel" has accused of being vulnerable to diversion by Palestinian Resistance groups. The UN, however, has strongly criticized this parallel framework, calling it "inherently unsafe" and a violation of humanitarian neutrality principles. "Up until the seventh of July, we've recorded now 798 killings, including 615 in the vicinity of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, and 183 presumably on the route of aid convoys," said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), during a press briefing in Geneva.
