Another three people were killed by a strike while waiting for aid southwest of Gaza City, Bassal said.
He said that 10 people were killed in five separate Israeli strikes near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, east of which he said “continuous Israeli artillery shelling” was reported on Friday.
Basal added that 30 people were killed in six separate strikes in northern Gaza, including a fisherman who was targeted “by Israeli warships”. He specified that eight of them were killed “after an Israeli air strike hit Osama bin Zayed School, which was housing displaced persons” in northern Gaza.
In central Gaza’s al-Bureij refugee camp, 12 people were killed in two separate Israeli strikes, Basal said.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is at its worst point yet, saying Israeli attacks have created conditions “more dire today than at any point in this long and brutal crisis”.
Speaking ahead of his departure for the International Conference on Financing for Development in Spain, Guterres said the ceasefire between Israel and Iran “offers hope”, but stressed that “we cannot allow the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza to be pushed into the shadows”.
“Bombs are falling – on tents, on families, on those with nowhere left to run,” he said. “People are being killed simply trying to feed themselves. The search for food must never be a death sentence.”
The UN chief sharply criticised the ongoing restrictions on humanitarian aid, noting that shelter materials and fuel have been blocked for at least three months. “Aid workers themselves are starving,” he said, adding that a “trickle” of aid crossing into Gaza “only underscores the vast scale of the crisis”.
“Israel, as the occupying power, is required to agree to and facilitate humanitarian relief,” Guterres said, calling for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all captives, and full humanitarian access. “Diplomacy and human dignity must prevail.”
Gaza’s Government Media Office says at least 549 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces while trying to access humanitarian supplies in the past four weeks, and a further 4,066 were injured at or near US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution sites.
