Gaza [Gaza City], July 14: Israeli air raids across the Gaza Strip have killed more than 59 Palestinians, at least 10 of them near a water distribution point, including six children, according to Palestinian Civil Defence.
Mahmoud Basal, civil defence spokesman, told the AFP news agency there were multiple Israeli strikes on Gaza City overnight and early morning on Sunday, resulting in eight deaths, "including women and children", with additional injuries reported.
An Israeli attack on a home near the Nuseirat refugee camp in the south of Gaza City caused "10 martyrs and several injured", he said.
An Israeli drone attack in central Gaza "hit a potable water distribution point in an area for displaced people", killing eight Palestinians, including six children, with several others
wounded.
Additionally, three people died when Israeli jets struck a tent housing displaced Palestinians in the southern coastal area of al-Mawasi, according to Basal.
On Saturday, Israeli forces killed at least 110 Palestinians across Gaza, including 34 people waiting for food at the controversial GHF distribution site in Rafah.
At least 67 children have died of hunger in Gaza since October 2023, Gaza's Government Media Office said on Saturday.
Furthermore, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, warned of a sharp rise in malnutrition cases as Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave entered its 103rd day.
In a statement, the agency said one of its clinics in Gaza has seen an increase in the number of malnutrition cases since March when the Israeli siege started. "UNRWA hasn't been allowed to bring in any humanitarian aid since," it said.
The warnings came as Israeli forces continued to target starving Palestinians.
On Sunday, an Israeli warplane struck a house in the al-Sawarkah area west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing 10 people.
In the northern Gaza Strip, six Palestinians were killed and others injured when an Israeli warplane bombed a house in the Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.
Five others were killed and several more injured in a separate air strike that hit a house on Hamid Street in western Gaza City.
