79 Killed, Hospitals Inaccessible in Gaza as Israel Continues Offensive

CAIRO (AP) - In Gaza, 79 people have been brought to hospitals after being killed by Israeli strikes in the past 24 hours, according to the territory's Health Ministry on Saturday. Furthermore, the ministry stated that hospitals in the region's battered north are now inaccessible.

One of the deceased was Dr. Alaa Najjar, a pediatrician at Nasser Hospital, who was among the nine of her ten children killed in the recent Israeli military offensive. At the time of her death, she was on duty, rushing home to find her family's house suffering from a fire. Ahmad al-Farra, head of the hospital's pediatric department, informed The Associated Press of the grim circumstances.

Najjar's husband survived with severe injuries, while her only surviving child, an 11-year-old son, remains in critical condition following the attack in Khan Younis on Friday. The remains of two children are reportedly stuckunder debris in the South. Israel claimed that the strike was against suspects operating from a structure near its troops, and described the area as "a dangerous war zone." They maintained that they had evacuated civilians from the area, and declared that an investigation is pending over allegations of harm to uninvolved civilians.

Earlier in the day, Israel's air force reported striking over 100 targets across Gaza over the previous day. As a result, the war's toll has risen to 53,901 since the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel, sparking 19 months of conflict. There have been a total of 3,747 deaths in Gaza since Israel resumed the war on March 18, as it sought to pressure Hamas to accept alternative ceasefire terms. However, it's important to note that the Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in their count.

Israel's blockade, in place since early March, has placed over 2 million people in Gaza under a blockade. This week, the first aid trucks were allowed to enter the territory since the blockade began, following pressure from international allies due to warnings of famine and images of desperate Palestinians scrambling for food at shrinking charity kitchens.

Israel may now consider new procedures to allow aid groups control of non-food assistance, according to a recent letter obtained by the AP. Netanyahu's government has accused Hamas of siphoning aid but UN and aid groups deny that there is significant diversion. Hospitals in Gaza continue to report attacks and other Israeli pressure, with 11 security personnel currently trapped at the European Hospital in Southern Gaza due to heavy gunfire and airstrikes since at least Tuesday.

The Israeli government is pledging to continue striking Gaza until Hamas releases all remaining Israeli hostages and disarms. The current standoff has led to disagreements over the exchange of hostages, as Hamas demands the release of Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire, and an Israeli withdrawal from the territory, while Netanyahu has rejected these terms and vowed to maintain control over Gaza and facilitate "voluntary emigration" of its Palestinian population.
