At least 10 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured as the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) carried out airstrikes in Gaza City and Rafah, targeting civilians and causing widespread devastation. The attacks have escalated a war on Gaza that has left a dire humanitarian crisis in its wake, with essential supplies such as food, medicine, and fuel systematically blocked for nearly a year. As international organizations sound the alarm, a coalition of 15 humanitarian groups has urged the global community to press the Israeli government for an immediate ceasefire.

Key Takeaways:

  • At least 10 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured in the Israeli Occupation Forces' airstrikes in Gaza City and Rafah, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.
  • The airstrikes targeted civilians, including a missile strike on the Ibn al-Haytham School in the Shujayea neighborhood, which killed 8 individuals and wounded several others.
  • A separate incident in Rafah killed 2 people and injured at least 10 others when an IOF drone struck a vehicle.
  • Humanitarian organizations have reported that essential supplies such as food, medicine, and fuel have been systematically blocked for nearly a year, with 83% of needed food aid failing to reach Gaza.
