GAZA, Thursday, January 4, 2024 (WAFA) — At least six Palestinian civilians lost their lives and several others sustained injuries this evening, as Israeli airstrikes continued to target homes across the Gaza Strip for the 90th consecutive day, according to local and medical sources.
In Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, an Israeli airstrike claimed the life of one Palestinian and left numerous others wounded in the vicinity of the European Hospital. Simultaneously, fighter jets flattened to the ground a residence belonging to the Kawara' family in the eastern part of the city.
Earlier, five Palestinians were killed, with several more injured, as Israeli occupation forces targeted a vehicle in the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The attack on the vehicle resulted in casualties, adding to the escalating toll of civilian lives affected by the recent wave of airstrikes.
Preliminary estimates by local health authorities indicate that over 22,300 people, the majority of them being children and women, have been killed since the onset of the Israeli onslaught on Gaza on October 7. Over 57,200 others have been injured, with nearly 7,000 individuals unaccounted for.
The situation in Gaza remains dire as civilians bear the brunt of the Israeli military's aerial and ground offensive. Humanitarian concerns are mounting as the Israeli genocide persists, prompting urgent calls for international intervention to protect the lives of innocent civilians.
