Watan-Dozens of Palestinians, including women, children, and people waiting for humanitarian aid, were killed or wounded in Israeli airstrikes and gunfire across several areas of the Gaza Strip early Monday.
These attacks come amid catastrophic conditions resulting from what many are calling a genocidal war waged by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
According to medical sources and eyewitnesses, Israeli strikes targeted homes, tents sheltering displaced families, and crowds of civilians, resulting in deaths and injuries throughout northern, central, and southern Gaza.
Israeli Strikes Kill Displaced Families and Aid Seekers Across Gaza
A source at Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City confirmed that the bodies of 11 Palestinians killed in airstrikes and gunfire had arrived at the hospital, along with 7 wounded.
Five of the victims were killed when an Israeli warplane bombed the Abu Nadi family home on Ahmad Yassin Street in the Al-Karama area of northwestern Gaza. The house had been sheltering displaced people from the Abu Ayadeh and Abu Matar families.
Another person was shot and killed by Israeli forces while waiting for food aid in the Al-Sudaniya area west of Gaza City. Meanwhile, five more were killed in airstrikes on homes in Yaffa (east Gaza City) and Abu Sharikh in Jabalia, north of the Strip.
In central Gaza, two Palestinians were killed and 35 injured in an Israeli attack targeting a crowd waiting for food on Salah al-Din Street south of Wadi Gaza. At least 16 of the injuries were critical, and some were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, according to Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat Camp.

In the southern city of Khan Younis, three Palestinians were killed and others injured when Israeli forces bombed tents housing displaced families in Al-Mawasi, specifically in the southern Al-Buraq Camp.
A medical source at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said one person was killed and 15 others wounded by Israeli gunfire while waiting for aid in the south of the city. Another civilian was shot and killed near a Gaza Relief Organization aid center in western Rafah.
As of Saturday, 450 Palestinians had been killed and 3,466 injured by Israeli fire while trying to reach food and aid distribution points linked to the so-called “U.S.-Israeli aid mechanism,” with 39 still missing, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.
