GAZA, (The Palestine Foundation Pakistan)
A Palestinian man was killed Friday morning in an Israeli airstrike, as Israeli occupation forces continued, for the 49th consecutive day, to violate the ceasefire in Gaza with air raids and artillery shelling in the eastern parts of the Strip.
Local sources reported that Abdullah Wajdi Rizq Hammad was killed by an Israeli drone strike in the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
Elsewhere, a young girl was injured by Israeli tank fire in the Mawasi area of Rafah, also in the south.
Another civilian was critically injured after being targeted by a quadcopter drone in central Bani Suheila, east of Khan Yunis.
Israeli artillery also shelled the eastern neighborhoods of Khan Yunis, accompanied by heavy machine-gun fire from Israeli helicopters in the area.
Israeli naval forces opened fire off the coast of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.
Israeli warplanes also launched a series of airstrikes on the northeastern areas of Rafah City.
The Gaza Center for Human Rights announced that 350 Palestinians, including 130 children and 54 women, have been killed in Israeli attacks over the 47 days since the ceasefire began.
The center documented more than 535 ceasefire violations, averaging over 11 breaches per day, and confirmed that the violations have persisted since the very beginning of the ceasefire agreement.
It also noted that Israel has restricted the entry of humanitarian aid, allowing only 211 trucks per day to pass through, far below the 600 trucks it claimed to be permitting. Furthermore, Israel has not adhered to the agreed-upon withdrawal map and continues to impose fire control and carry out incursions into civilian areas of the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Civil Defense Force announced that nearly 50% of its services have been suspended due to the lack of fuel to operate essential equipment and vehicles. Meanwhile, a rights center reported the death of 350 Palestinians in 47 days of Israeli violations following the ceasefire agreement.
Rescue teams are increasingly unable to reach thousands of damaged and hazardous buildings, and search-and-rescue operations are on the brink of complete shutdown amid the ongoing fuel crisis.
The Civil Defense confirmed that a large portion of its ability to respond to fires, explosions, and building collapses has been severely impaired, placing civilians in direct danger.
There are also serious difficulties operating power generators at civil defense and ambulance stations across the Gaza Strip, with warnings of a total collapse of emergency response capabilities.
