Israeli airstrikes and artillery bombardments continued across Gaza on Saturday, devastating residential areas and leaving dozens dead.
Al Mayadeen reported a massacre in the Beit Lahia Project area of northern Gaza, where an Israeli airstrike destroyed a five-story building belonging to the Ghabein family. More than 50 people, including members of the Ghneim and Ayada families, were killed, with many others still missing under the rubble.
Earlier in the same area, another airstrike targeted the Abdel Aati family home, killing 15 individuals.
In central Gaza, shelling struck the al-Bureij refugee camp, claiming eight lives. Paramedics with the Palestinian Red Crescent retrieved the bodies of seven victims, including a child, after a missile hit the Aql family home. The wounded were transported to nearby hospitals, including al-Awda and al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
A separate airstrike on the Maqadmeh family home in al-Bureij killed a woman and injured nine others, with the injured also taken to al-Awda Hospital. Meanwhile, artillery shelling targeted northwestern Gaza City, intensifying the devastation.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that more than 90 people had been killed in the Beit Lahia Project area alone in a series of strikes described as massacres.
As of Saturday, day 407 genocide in Gaza, at least 43,799 Palestinians have been killed, with 103,601 injured since October 7, 2023. Over the past 24 hours, three separate massacres claimed 35 lives and left 111 wounded.
Medical teams and civil defense personnel face mounting challenges, often unable to reach victims due to the relentless bombardment and the dangers of navigating targeted areas. Many victims remain trapped under rubble or in inaccessible locations, leaving rescue efforts at a standstill.
The ongoing assaults have overwhelmed hospitals and strained Gaza's already fragile infrastructure, raising fears of further humanitarian collapse.
