RAMALLAH, March 30, 2026 (WAFA) – A Palestinian child was critically wounded on Monday by Israeli occupation forces east of al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Local sources reported that the child, Ahmed Attallah Ahmed Fayyad, 10, sustained serious injuries after being shot by Israeli forces east of the camp.
In a related incident, a woman from the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood was wounded by gunfire from an Israeli machine gun mounted on a crane east of Gaza City.
The death toll from the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip has risen to 72,280, with 172,014 wounded, since the start of the offensive on October 7, 2023.
Hospitals in the Strip received the bodies of two slain Palestinians who succumbed to their wounds, in addition to one wounded person during the past 24 hours.
The number of fatalities since the ceasefire on October 11 has surged to 705, with more than 1,913 injuries reported. The bodies of 756 Palestinians have been retrieved over the same period.
Thousands of victims remain trapped under collapsed buildings or on the streets. However, emergency responders are struggling to reach them due to a lack of essential equipment for debris removal and rescue operations.
