At least 34 Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured in two Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza, reported Anadolu Agency, citing Palestinian medical sources.

The first strike hit Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid near Al-Shohada Junction in Nuseirat Refugee Camp, killing 23 people and wounding dozens, according to the Al-Awda Hospital.

In a separate attack, 11 more Palestinians were killed when an Israeli strike hit a residential building in Deir al-Balah, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 55,700 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
