In Deir al Balah, located south of Gaza City, a strike caused a house to completely collapse, resulting in the tragic death of nine family members who resided there, predominantly women and children.
Three individuals belonging to a different family, who had fled Gaza City, lost their lives in a nearby residence. According to witnesses, there had been no prior notification before the attack occurred.
Samiha Zoarab was in Khan Younis, in a nearby area close to Nasser Hospital, and was astounded by the devastation surrounding her. Within a tightly packed group of buildings, she observed children searching through the wreckage and leftover materials near a flattened home.
More than 2,750 Palestinians have been killed & 9,700 are wounded.
1.1 million are displaced. 1000+ children has been killed. There are no enough shrouds, so families are being put in 1 shroud.

According to local residents, the attack resulted in the death of four individuals belonging to the same family. Zoarab confirmed that only two people managed to survive.
The people of Gaza in Palestine are being encouraged to give blood donations
The ministry of health in Gaza has made a plea to the residents of the region, encouraging them to participate in blood donations at local hospitals and blood bank facilities.
The ministry recently reported that there is a shortage of blood supplies in the enclave due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment and worsening humanitarian situation.
Earlier on Tuesday, the ministry stated that approximately 3,000 individuals have lost their lives and close to 10,000 have been wounded as a result of Israeli airstrikes.
Israel has made a commitment to eliminate Hamas, the Islamic organization that governs Gaza, as a countermeasure to the terrorist acts on October 7 that resulted in the death of 1,400 individuals.
