In the last 24 hours, at least 47 Gazans have lost their lives due to the Israeli attacks in the Strip, as reported by the Ministry of Health of the enclave controlled by Hamas. The attacks are currently concentrated in the central and northern parts of the Palestinian enclave. This brings the total death toll in the Strip to 37,765 since the beginning of the war, with 86,429 injuries reported. Palestinian sources informed EFE of an incursion by the Israeli Army in the Shujaiya neighborhood in the northern city of Gaza, where heavy bombings have taken place.

At least seven people were reported dead and thirty wounded in the Shujaiya neighborhood, with casualties transported to a nearby hospital. Additionally, eleven Palestinians were killed in an attack on a school in the Al Shati camp, while three others died in a bombing against a group of people west of the town. In the north of the Strip, attacks in Yabalia resulted in the deaths of at least 17 individuals due to bombings and Israeli artillery attacks.

As the humanitarian crisis intensifies, food prices in northern Gaza have reached prohibitive levels, with a kilo of onions costing around $70 and a kilo of tomatoes priced at around $50. Basic foodstuffs are becoming increasingly unaffordable for the majority of the population, with meat prices exceeding $100 per kilo. The situation has been dire for at least three weeks, with prices continuing to rise every day.

Meanwhile, Israeli armed forces continue their operations in the southern part of the enclave, targeting Hamas militants. The military carried out an attack on the Al Hasna school, which was allegedly being used by Hamas militants as a base of operations. The Israeli Army stated that the attack was planned prudently to minimize harm to non-combatants. Operations are ongoing, with clashes reported and the humanitarian situation worsening as a result of the conflict.
