GAZA, January 13, 2025 (WAFA) – Six Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured this evening following Israeli airstrikes targeting a residential area in Gaza City.

WAFA correspondents reported that the airstrikes hit a neighborhood belonging to the Abu Qeinas family near Al-Ghafari junction in Gaza City, resulting in six fatalities and more than 30 injuries.

In a separate attack, two people were killed and others were injured when Israeli warplanes targeted a group of civilians near UNRWA schools sheltering displaced families in the Al-Nasr neighborhood, west of Gaza City.

Meantime, medical sources confirmed that the death toll from ongoing Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, which began early this morning, has risen to more than 50.

The Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City is overwhelmed with injured individuals, as reported by medical staff. Due to the overcrowding, some wounded are being treated in the hospital courtyard, with doctors struggling to provide adequate care.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 46,584 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 109,731 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
