Medical sources across the Gaza Strip said at least 16 Palestinians were killed and 16 others wounded on 24 August as Israeli forces conducted air, artillery and drone strikes in multiple locations, including the Sheikh Radwan and Al-Tuffah neighborhoods of Gaza City, Jabalia Al-Nazla in the north, and Deir al-Balah in the central area. Separate reports from Al-Awda Hospital indicated that Israeli gunfire at the Netzarim Corridor—a key passage for humanitarian aid—also left at least three dead, while similar fire near an aid-distribution point south of Wadi Gaza caused additional casualties. Hospital officials added that the humanitarian situation is worsening. Baptist Hospital confirmed the death of infant Asia Abu Eida from starvation and severe malnutrition, and Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis reported a similar malnutrition-related death of six-month-old Habiba Al-Halabi. The latest fatalities underscore the impact of Israel’s continuing blockade, which has sharply restricted food and medical supplies entering the enclave.
