Gaza City, (Al Jazeera, Wafa): 85 Palestinians have been killed, 130 others injured by indiscriminate Israeli bombing in Gaza Strip, according to the Ministry of Health. The death toll includes the 25 Palestinians who died from malnutrition and dehydration .At least 31,045 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and 72,654 wo unded in Israeli attacks since October 7, Gaza’s Health Ministry says. About 72 percent of the victims are children and women, the ministry added.

Israeli forces intensified attacks across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 15 people, including women and children, in the Nuseirat refugee camp and al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza.

Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes targeted multiple civilian homes in the refugee camp, leading to the killing of several individuals and the injury of others.

In northern Gaza, an infant and a young woman died of malnutrition, taking the number of known starvation deaths to 25.

Philippe Lazzarini, who heads the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, says Ramadan is here as “displacement continues, and fear and anxiety prevail amid threats of a military operation on Rafah”, in Gaza’s southernmost point.

“This month should bring a ceasefire for those who have suffered the most. They need respite and peace of mind. It’s long over due,” he says.

Asem al-Nabeh, a member of the Gaza Municipality’s emergency committee, told Al Jazeera that Israel has destroyed one million square metres of roads in Gaza City.

“Municipalities need machinery, heavy equipment and fuel,” he said, adding that the city has accumulated 70,000 tonnes of waste.

Nabih also said that while food aid that has arrived is important, it does not meet the needs of the Palestinians. Groundwater reserves in Gaza are also in danger, he added.

“The per capita share of water in the Gaza municipality is now two litres per day,” he said.

Israeli attacks since October 7 have destroyed more than 1,000 mosques in Gaza.

In Rafah, al-Huda Mosque lies in ruins after it was targeted last month. It was built in 1952 and was one of the largest mosques in the area. The mosque once featured a library and praying area big enough to accommodate more than 1,500 people. However, now prayers are held in a reduced space.

As Palestinian Muslims prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, they have decided to continue to congregate as usual.

An Israeli air strike hit a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip where 21 displaced Palestinians were sheltering.
