GAZA, June 24 (Bernama-WAM) -- At least 24 civilians were martyred and dozens more were injured early on Tuesday morning in a series of Israeli air strikes targeting various areas in Gaza City and gatherings of citizens waiting for humanitarian aid south of Wadi Gaza, in the central Gaza Strip, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
Rescue and civil defence crews recovered five martyrs from under the rubble of a house bombed in the Sabra neighbourhood south of Gaza City. They were transferred to Al-Shifa Medical Complex, along with a number of wounded.
In a related development, medical sources at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat reported that the hospital received 19 martyrs and 146 wounded as a result of the bombing that targeted hundreds of citizens gathered to receive relief aid on Salah al-Din Street, south of Wadi Gaza.
The sources explained that 62 of the injured were in critical condition and were transferred to hospitals in the central Gaza Strip for treatment.
Since October 7 2023, the Israeli occupation has continued its aggression against the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of tens of thousands of citizens, most of them children and women, while thousands more remain buried under the rubble.
