Israeli Strikes Kill Seven in Gaza, Destroy Aid Supplies
Israeli strikes killed at least seven Palestinians in different parts of Gaza.
Some people died when a home in Beit Lahiya was hit.
Another person was killed while civilians gathered in Khan Younis.
An aid warehouse storing food and nutrition supplies was also destroyed.
The supplies were meant for children and mothers.
Aid workers said this loss will make it harder to help people.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said many oxygen stations in hospitals are no longer working.
It warned that patients could die if oxygen supplies stop.
The reported attacks happened even though a ceasefire was supposed to be in place.
At least seven Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes across Gaza, according to Palestinian health and media sources.
Three people died after a strike hit a home in Beit Lahiya, while another was killed in an al-Mawasi drone strike.
An overnight strike destroyed nutrition supplies for children, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers at a humanitarian warehouse.
Medical Aid for Palestinians said the warehouse supplies were buried under rubble and rendered unfit for consumption.
Gaza’s Health Ministry warned that only 12 of about 34 oxygen stations remain operational, creating risks for patients.
