War on Gaza on its 80th day: renewed Israeli raids on the areas of central and southern Gaza
On the 80th day of the aggression against the Gaza Strip, today, Monday, the Israeli occupation forces continue their raids and bombardment on several areas in the Strip, concentrated in the center and south, which led to the death and injury of dozens of citizens, the majority of whom are children and women.
Local sources reported that the Israeli raids were renewed on several areas in the central and southern Gaza Strip, following a bloody night for the people of the Strip, after a massacre in the Al-Maghazi and Al-Bureij camps in the central Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of about 95 persons, as the occupation warplanes and artillery bombed an entire residential square inn Al-Maghazi camp.
The courtyard of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip is crowded with the bodies of dead, after the intense Israeli raids on the area, awaiting their burial.
The Medical Director of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, Dr. Khalil Al-Dakran: The hospital is full of wounded and dead, and a large number of wounded were piled up on the ground, in the corridors and in tents, and more than 70 dead, most of them body parts, as a result of the Maghazi and Bureij massacres in the central Gaza Strip.
He added that the hospital deals with the injured by saving their lives in a very modest way, because there are not many medicines and medical equipment, and the intensive care rooms are completely full, and the artificial respirators are no longer enough. We need medicines, medical teams, and field hospitals. This closure is a death sentence for the wounded and injured.
He pointed out that infectious diseases began to spread among the displaced people who were filling the hospital's courtyards to escape the Israeli bombing, and infectious, intestinal, and skin diseases spread widely among them, and there were no medicines or beds for them.
In addition, occupation artillery bombed agricultural land near the entrance to the town of Al-Zawaida in the central Gaza Strip, and also bombed the vicinity of Abu Helou schools in Al-Bureij, coinciding with the firing of smoke bombs in the area.
The occupation warplanes targeted agricultural land at the entrance to the Nuseirat camp, coinciding with columns of smoke rising in northern Gaza.
Eyewitnesses said that occupation artillery bombed the town of Jabalia, causing fires to break out in several locations.
The occupation warplanes launched a series of raids on Khan Yunis Governorate, south of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the eastern region.
At dawn today, 23 citizens were killed and dozens were injured, after the Israeli occupation warplanes bombed two homes in the Ma’an area, east of Khan Yunis.
The Red Crescent Society in Gaza reported that there were more than 8,000 reports of missing persons under the rubble in various areas of the Strip.
In an infinite toll, the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip since the 7th of last October has resulted in the death of 20,424 citizens and the wounding of about 54,036 citizens, more than 70% of whom are women and children.
