Since dawn today, Saturday, dozens of citizens, including children and women, have been killed, and others were injured, and dozens of homes, buildings, residential apartments, and public and private property were destroyed in the ongoing Israeli occupation bombardment of the Gaza Strip, by land, sea and air.

The occupation warplanes bombed two houses belonging to the Al-Najjar and Khader families on Old Gaza Street, in the northern Gaza Strip, killing at least 14 citizens and wounding others.

Dozens of citizens, including children and women, were killed, and dozens were injured, as a result of the occupation aircraft bombing a house in Jabalia, and a large number of civilians are still trapped under the rubble.

A young man was also killed in the Tal al-Zaatar area, north of Gaza, after an occupation sniper shot him inside his house.

The occupation warships fired heavy machine guns in the Rafah Sea, south of the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, the eastern areas of Khan Yunis Governorate are subjected to continuous bombardment.

Regarding Kamal Adwan Hospital, which is under siege for the eighth day in a row, in light of the severe shortage of water and food, the occupation has completely destroyed the southern part of the hospital, and is still targeting everyone who moves in it.

The occupation also continues to oppress and abuse medical staff there, and 12 children are still detained in incubators there without water or food.

The head of the pediatric department at Kamal Adwan Hospital was aware of a new massacre that the occupation might commit against those inside it, after forcing the medical staff, the wounded, and those present to leave it and gather in its courtyards, amid the cold weather.

The occupation forces had previously stormed most of the hospitals in Gaza and its north, abused medical staff, the displaced, the sick and the injured, and arrested 34 medical staff.

The occupation authorities continue to cut off telephone communications and the Internet from all areas of the Gaza Strip, for the third day in a row.

This is the fifth time since the beginning of the aggression on the seventh of last October, that the occupation has cut off telephone communications from landlines, cell phones, and Internet networks to the people of the Gaza Strip, which prevented them from communicating with each other, and made it impossible for ambulances to reach targeted areas to transport the dead and injured, in addition to isolating the Gaza Strip from the outside world.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also announced last Thursday that it had completely lost contact with the operations room in the Gaza Strip, and with all its crews working there, in light of the occupation authorities completely cutting off landline, cellular and Internet communications networks, for the fifth time since the beginning of the aggression.

In a non-final toll announced by the Ministry of Health, the number of dead in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli aggression on the 7th of last October has risen to 18,700 dead, 70% of whom are children and women, while the number of injured has reached more than 51,000, and there are thousands missing.
