At least 58 Palestinians were killed by Israeli airstrikes and gunfire across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, Palestinian sources said, reported Xinhua.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Gaza, told Xinhua that at least 15 people, including a doctor and a child, were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a crowded market in central Gaza City.
Basal added that 11 people, including a girl, were killed in separate Israeli airstrikes on the al-Shati refugee camp, and the neighborhoods of Tal al-Hawa, al-Zeitoun, and al-Sabra in Gaza City.
Israeli drones attacked a water distribution point in al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to eyewitnesses. In a press statement, Al-Awda Hospital said the bombing resulted in 10 deaths, including children, and 16 wounded.
The hospital recorded another 10 deaths from a separate Israeli airstrike targeting a residential house in the same refugee camp, according to the statement.
In the south, eight people were killed in the city of Khan Younis, Nasser Medical Complex said, noting that another four were killed by Israeli army fire outside the U.S.-backed aid center in the Shakoush area, north of Rafah.
For its part, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Sunday that it struck more than 150 "terror targets" throughout the Gaza Strip over the past day, including "terrorists" and their infrastructure sites.
Raafat al-Majdulai, director of al-Awda Health and Community Association, warned that the health system in the Gaza Strip is facing a catastrophe and a humanitarian crisis, noting that Gaza's hospitals are providing the bare minimum of services and are unable to deal with the wounded.
Meanwhile, the Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip announced that it was running out of fuel, with current supplies insufficient to operate the hospital for more than two days.
The hospital said in a statement that the hospital's shutdown would threaten the lives of thousands of patients and wounded, especially in al-Mawasi area, which is crowded with approximately 700,000 displaced people.
On March 18, Israel resumed its military operations in the enclave. At least 7,450 Palestinians have been killed and 26,479 others injured since Israel renewed its intensive strikes, bringing the total death toll since October 2023 to 58,026, and injuries to 138,520, Gaza-based health authorities said on Sunday.
