Three citizens were killed and others injured on Monday morning by Israeli warplanes’ gunfire and shelling in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, Wafa reports.

Wafa correspondents reported, citing medical sources, that a citizen was killed as a result of direct Israeli airstrikes while waiting for aid southwest of Khan Younis and a number of people were injured.

The same sources added that rescue crews recovered the bodies of two martyrs who were killed by Israeli warplanes in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip.

They noted that there is a severe shortage of medicines and medical equipment at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, and the number of wounded exceeds the doctors’ capacity to treat them.

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip confirmed that the number of people who have arrived at hospitals waiting for food aid has reached 450, and more than 3,466 injured since the aid distribution centres began operating late last month.
