GAZA CITY, Palestine/ANKARA

At least 54 Palestinians, including children and people fetching water, were killed Sunday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting residential areas and displacement tents across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources.

Israeli shelling targeted a civilian gathering in Gaza City, killing 11 people, including a child and a doctor. Over 50 others were injured, local health officials said.

Israeli warplanes struck a family home in the Al-Sawarkah area west of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing 10 people.

In a separate strike on a water distribution point in Nuseirat, 10 Palestinians, including six children, were killed and 16 others wounded.

In the northern Gaza Strip, six Palestinians were killed and others injured after an Israeli warplane bombed a house in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.

Five others were killed and several more injured in a separate airstrike that hit a house on Hamid Street in western Gaza City.

Three more Palestinians were killed and four others injured when an Israeli airstrike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people north of Gaza City.

In the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, a young girl and another person were killed, and several people were injured when Israeli forces bombed a family home near the Islamic Complex Mosque.

In southern Gaza, Nasser Medical Complex medics confirmed the deaths of three people following an Israeli strike on a displacement tent in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.

Another strike on a tent sheltering displaced families in Khan Younis killed a young girl and injured five people.

Three Palestinians were also shot and killed by Israeli forces while waiting for humanitarian aid west of Rafah in southern Gaza.

According to Palestinian figures, at least 833 people were killed and 5,432 injured by Israeli army fire while waiting to get humanitarian aid since May 27.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces blew up several residential buildings in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, causing extensive destruction to nearby property.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, killing over 58,000 Palestinians so far, most of them women and children. The relentless bombardment has destroyed the enclave and led to food shortages and a spread of disease.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
