At least 10 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours due to ongoing Israeli attacks, medical sources reported, despite a US-brokered ceasefire agreement.

On Thursday, an Israeli drone strike on a home west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza killed two people, with bodies taken to Nasser Hospital. Another strike on a busy street in Gaza City killed one and wounded several, while a drone attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed one more.

A day earlier, an Israeli strike targeted a humanitarian vehicle transporting goods from the Kerem Shalom crossing to a warehouse, killing the driver, Ahmad Nasser Saleem. The World Central Kitchen, which operated the vehicle, condemned the attack, stating that “humanitarian aid deliveries should never be a target” and demanded a full account from Israel.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported eight deaths and 17 injuries in 24 hours, with the total Palestinian death toll since October 2023 reaching 73,118. The ceasefire, signed on October 10, 2025, has not halted Israeli airstrikes, which have killed 1,092 Palestinians during the truce.

Israel has expanded its control beyond the “Yellow Line,” now occupying an estimated 80% of the strip, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. UN agencies and NGOs warned that this expansion endangers civilians and relief operations, forcing dozens of families to flee their homes.

The humanitarian crisis deepens as Gaza’s healthcare system remains devastated. Health authorities reported that laboratories and blood banks face imminent shutdown due to an 87% shortage of lab materials and a 74% deficit in diagnostic supplies, paralyzing medical services.

Meanwhile, Hamas chief negotiator Khalil al-Hayya arrived in Cairo for further ceasefire talks, which remain deadlocked. The second phase of the agreement, addressing Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal, has yet to be implemented.
