GAZA, August 17, 2025 (WAFA) – The field hospital of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in the al-Saraya area received this evening more than 40 injuries among civilians who were waiting for aid in the northwestern part of the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, a medical source confirmed that two civilians were killed and several others injured by Israeli occupation gunfire in the Zikim area, northwest of the Strip. A young man was also killed in an airstrike that targeted the al-Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

 The death toll in the Gaza Strip has reached 61,944, the majority of whom were women and children, since the beginning of the Israeli aggression in October 2023. At least 155,886 others have also been injured.

This toll remains incomplete, as many victims remain trapped under rubble, inaccessible to ambulance and rescue crews.
