The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry said Saturday that 47 people were killed and 205 wounded by IDF fire in the past 24 hours, including five killed and 26 wounded while seeking aid.

The ministry also reported that seven people, including two children, died of hunger or malnutrition, bringing the total number of deaths from hunger and malnutrition since the start of the war to 420.

Since October 7, the IDF killed 64,803 people and wounded 164,264 across the Strip, the statement read.

That same day, the IDF said it had struck a high-rise in Gaza City, which it said was used by Hamas. Footage indicates that the building targeted was a residential building in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.

The IDF continued to urge Gaza City residents to evacuate their homes, despite unclear instructions. "The IDF is determined to defeat Hamas in Gaza City and is expanding its strikes for this purpose," the statement read.

Medical sources in the Strip reported that since Friday night, at least 32 people were killed in Gaza City. According to a statement by Shifa Hospital, at least 12 were children. An Israeli strike killed ten members of one family, including a mother and three children, at a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, early on Saturday night.

The IDF began ordering city residents to evacuate ahead of military strikes earlier this week.

"The IDF is determined to defeat Hamas and will operate in the Gaza City area with great force, as it has throughout the Strip," the statement read. "For your safety, evacuate immediately to the humanitarian zone in Muwasi."

According to estimates by both the UN and the IDF, until recently, around one million people lived in Gaza City. In recent days, the pace of departures has increased, but hundreds of thousands remain and refuse to leave.

Over the past two days, Israel's air force intensified its strikes, mainly in the Al-Shati area. On Thursday night, about 800 families left two buildings that had served as shelters for displaced people in Gaza City – one of which was formerly a school and the other a clinic. Local reports indicate that most families in Gaza City are homeless.

Saturday: Dozens Killed, Injured, Amid Ongoing Israeli Bombing In Gaza

On the 708th day of the ongoing genocide in the devastated Gaza Strip, Palestinians endured another wave of Israeli bombing and shelling, killing, and wounding dozens across multiple areas of the besieged coastal enclave.

Israeli occupation forces have intensified aerial and ground assaults across the northern Gaza Strip, with a particular focus on Gaza City.

Medical sources in Gaza reported that 65 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire since dawn on Friday, including 48 in Gaza City and the northern region of the Strip.

According to Al-Jazeera’s correspondent, Israeli forces also targeted civilian infrastructure, destroying a school sheltering displaced families and 16 residential buildings in Gaza City since Friday morning.

Israeli airstrikes over the past 24 hours have destroyed 17 homes and one displacement center in Gaza City, displacing hundreds of residents, and internally displaced persons in surrounding areas. The attacks also caused extensive damage to neighboring structures.

Among the targeted sites was the Jerusalem Bank in the Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City, which was leveled by Israeli warplanes.

A child was killed and several civilians injured by Israeli gunfire near the Sayyed Hashem Mosque in the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City.

Several civilians sustained injuries when Israeli warplanes targeted a residential property on the Thawra Street in the Rimal neighborhood, located in western Gaza City.

After days of search efforts, civil defense teams recovered the bodies of several members of the Al-Hosari family from beneath the rubble of their home near Abu Halima station in the Shati refugee camp.

All were confirmed dead, including Nevin Nasman and her children Bara and Fuad Nader Al-Hosari, Eman Mohammad Al-Hosari, Dr. Yara Nader Al-Hosari, and engineer Ahmad Nader Al-Hosari, who had issued a distress call before succumbing due to delayed rescue and difficult conditions.

Israeli drones also launched strikes on homes near the Yarmouk neighborhood in central Gaza City. Concurrently, occupation forces opened fire on civilians gathered in central Gaza while awaiting humanitarian aid.

In northern Gaza, 14 members of the Al-Sultan family were killed in an Israeli strike on their home in the Twam neighborhood, with several others still missing under the debris.

In central Gaza, one civilian collecting wood in the village of Al-Mughraqa was killed, and several others were wounded near the U.S. aid distribution center.

In the south, former Rafah police chief Brigadier General Jasser Al-Mashoukhi was killed in an Israeli strike on Khan Younis.

Two more civilians were killed in the Rumeida area of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis. The Ministry of Health said ten people were killed in southern Gaza during the same 24-hour period.

The latest wave of attacks has included the systematic destruction of homes and residential towers, contributing to the ongoing mass displacement of civilians.

The bombardment campaign has included the deployment of remote-controlled explosive devices, referred to locally as “robot bombs,” within densely populated residential areas.

These bombings appear aimed at coercing forced displacement, pushing residents toward the central and southern regions of the Strip under increasingly dire humanitarian conditions.

Four Palestinians, one of them identified as Ibrahim Saed Diab, were killed, and many were wounded, by Israeli fire near an alleged aid distribution center in central Gaza.

Their deaths bring the number of slain Palestinians who were killed while attempting to obtain humanitarian aid for their starving families to ,more than 2,444, in addition to more than 18,091 wounded.

784 of the slain Palestinians were killed while awaiting humanitarian aid in Zikim, 607 near the American “aid center” in Rafah, and 429 near the “aid center” run by the American-run so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation,” in Netzarim.

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) stated that the famine in Gaza is a direct consequence of restricted humanitarian access, the systematic destruction of vital infrastructure, and repeated assaults on relief operations.

He emphasized that he had never witnessed such a blatant disregard for the protected status of humanitarian personnel, facilities, and missions under international law.

In addition, Al-Jazeera said that Israeli security chiefs warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, that the military offensive in Gaza City could be prolonged without achieving its objectives, and that many residents may refuse to evacuate.

Despite these warnings, Netanyahu reportedly insisted on continuing the offensive, even as officials cautioned that hostages could be at risk.

On the diplomatic front, Al-Jazeera also reported that Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani is scheduled to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday to discuss the situation in Gaza.

The meeting follows earlier talks with the U.S. Vice President and Secretary of State focused on the same issue.

Meanwhile, international condemnation of Israel’s recent strike on Doha continues to grow. France, Germany, and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement denouncing the attack, expressing solidarity with Qatar, and calling for an immediate end to Israeli military operations in Gaza City.

On Friday, Israel killed 70 Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, including wiping out whole families. As a result, the death toll has increased as a result to 64,756 killed and 164,059 injured, the majority of whom are children, women, and elderly, in the occupation’s ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.
