Over 260 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israeli troops in the past 24 hours as they ramped up their massive military operation against the residents of Gaza.

Jewish troops increased their attacks on Gaza, which is under siege, while the area faces a dire humanitarian crisis. Following ongoing Israeli attacks, several neighborhoods in occupied territory have been reduced to ruins.

Tel Aviv maintained its assaults overnight after making a recent declaration, claiming to have killed dozens of terrorists in and around Gaza City.

4,741 Palestinians have been murdered as a result of the intense shelling, including at least 1,873 children. There are also 15,898 more wounded people.

Israeli military personnel advised Gazans to keep heading south for safety.

Anyone who refuses to travel from north Gaza to the south of Wadi Gaza would be labeled as a terror suspect, according to the statement on the leaflets.

Aid convoys began entering Gaza over the weekend, the first since Israel began heavy airstrikes in the area and erected a blockade in response to a surprise onslaught by Hamas.

The Egyptian Red Crescent and the UN donated life-saving supplies for the 20-truck convoy that crossed the border with Egypt at Rafah.

Martin Griffith, the UN’s coordinator for humanitarian affairs, hailed the arrival of the supply convoy.

“I am confident that this delivery will be the start of a sustainable effort to provide essential supplies—including food, water, medicine, and fuel—to the people of Gaza in a safe, dependable, unconditional, and unimpeded manner,” Mr. Griffiths said in a statement posted on his official account on X, formerly Twitter.

He stated that the humanitarian supply comes after frantic talks with Israel over the course of days to guarantee that the aid operation into Gaza restarts as soon as possible and under the ideal circumstances.

Hundreds of vehicles have been waiting there to provide food, water, medical supplies, and other necessities to the enclave, where supplies are running low. Rafah is the only border gate accessible from Gaza.

Following 13 days of fighting, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs provided an update, noting that 3,785 people have died in the Gaza Strip, including at least 1,524 minors, and over 12,000 have been injured.

As “relentless bombardments” of the area continue, OCHA stated that “hundreds of additional fatalities” are reportedly thought to be trapped beneath the wreckage.
