The total wounded is now at least 171,287. The daily average number of men, women and children killed in Gaza is at least 90 and, that of those injured, is more than 207.

GAZA CITY—Eleven-year-old Hamsa Housou lay dead on a cold metal table at the morgue in Al-Shifa Hospital. Blood covered her face and the upper part of her striped pyjamas as one of her relatives gently wiped her mouth and cheek with a damp cloth, crying as he did so. She had been asleep in her bed early Thursday morning when she was fatally struck by Israeli gunfire. Her family’s home in Jabaliya, west of the so-called yellow line, is in an area designated as safe.
“We were sleeping, and suddenly, around 5am, there were bangs—loud bangs and shells,” Hamsa’s uncle, Aouni Housou, said, standing over her small body. “I live upstairs, and there was screaming. We ran downstairs and they said the girl had been injured. We went to see her and she was covered in blood.” It took half an hour for an ambulance to arrive. When they finally reached the hospital, Hamsa had died.
The eleven-year-old was just one of as many as 14 Palestinians, including five children, killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours, according to an Al Jazeera toll. Since the so-called ceasefire went into effect on October 10, Israel has killed Palestinians in Gaza on an almost daily basis. The missile strikes, shootings, and shelling occur in areas both east of the yellow line, which Israeli troops are occupying as part of the initial agreement, and west of it, where the majority of Palestinians are crammed into less than half of Gaza’s territory. At least 425 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,200 wounded over the past three months of the “ceasefire”—a rate of nearly five Palestinians killed every day.
“Every night there is bombing, shooting, fire belts, robots. Every night. Shrapnel hits our home. What ceasefire? This ceasefire is just theatre in front of the world. What caused them to kill her?” Housou said, pointing at his dead niece, unable to hold back the tears.
While much of the world’s attention has turned away from Gaza since the “ceasefire” took hold, the genocide has continued, with daily Israeli military attacks and heavy restrictions on life essentials, including medical supplies, food, building materials and other items.
Over the course of a single day—overnight on Wednesday into Thursday evening—the Israeli military targeted residential homes, schools sheltering displaced Palestinians and tent encampments. In Mawasi Khan Yunis, an area close to the sea, two separate airstrikes killed four Palestinians in their tents on the beach, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa. Another Palestinian was killed when Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Attar area of Khan Yunis. In the Jabaliya refugee camp, two Palestinians were killed when Israeli forces struck the Abu Hussein School, which was sheltering several displaced families. In the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood northeast of Gaza City, an Israeli airstrike slammed into a residential building, killing two and wounding five.
“My house is next to the house that was bombed. I was in this room next to the verandah. Suddenly something flew and threw me onto the bed. The entire window shattered—all of it. My wife also was thrown onto the bed,” Abu Hassan Alwan told Drop Site, standing in the aftermath of the Al-Tuffah building strike. “Whoever tells you there is a safe area, don’t pay him any mind. The Israelis are allowed to strike wherever they strike. Whatever ‘targets’ they find, they strike. There are no safe areas,” he added. “This ceasefire is not in effect like this.”
