Journalist among 32 more Palestinians killed; amputation cases surge in Gaza

Several Palestinian citizens, including a photojournalist, were killed as the Israeli aggression on Gaza continues.

The Israeli occupation continued its aggression on the Gaza Strip over the past 48 hours, resulting in numerous casualties, with 32 martyrs and 193 injured reported in hospitals.

Palestinian medical sources indicated that thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, and that rescue teams are unable to reach them.

Eyewitnesses reported the death of photojournalist Saed Abu Nabhan, who was fatally shot by an Israeli sniper after several journalists were surrounded in the New Camp area of Nuseirat in central Gaza.

In another incident, four Palestinian citizens were killed and others injured when an Israeli warplane targeted a family home with a missile in Al-Shuja’iya neighbourhood, east of Gaza City. The injured were transferred to local hospitals for treatment.

Meanwhile, Palestinian medical sources announced that 4,500 cases of upper and lower limb amputations have been recorded since the beginning of the war in October 2023. Among these, 800 cases involve Palestinian children, accounting for 18 percent of the total, while 540 cases involve Palestinian women, making up 12 per cent.
