At least 50 Palestinians were killed, including women and children, and many others injured on Monday in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Civil Defense in Gaza said.

The Civil Defense said in a press statement that Israeli bombing targeted residential homes and shelters for displaced people in Beit Lahia and Jabalia in northern Gaza, the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, and the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah in the south.

It said its work remained halted across northern Gaza due to "continued Israeli targeting and aggression," leaving thousands of citizens without humanitarian response, medical care, and relief.

Meanwhile, Raed Al-Namas, a media official of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, told journalists in Gaza that the health system in the north is deteriorating due to shortages of medical supplies and personnel.

The services provided are at a minimum, and 12,000 injured people require treatment outside the Strip, Al-Namas said.

Israel has been launching a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and about 250 taken hostage.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza has risen to 43,922, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Monday.
