One Palestinian was killed, and 17 others were injured in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since dawn on Tuesday, marking the latest violations of a ceasefire that went into effect in October 2025.

A medical source at al-Shifa Hospital confirmed that local resident Wahib Khalil Badr al-Adham succumbed to wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a group of people near the Abu Sharikh roundabout, west of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Earlier, ten Palestinians were injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted the al-Faluja area in Jabalia.

Seven more people were injured in another Israeli airstrike targeting a gathering on al-Thalathini Street in Gaza City.

In a separate incident, an airstrike hit the roof of a house on Yarmouk Street, though it did not result in any injuries.

Palestinian Social Development Minister Samah Hamad warned on Monday that approximately 2.1 million people in the Gaza Strip are in urgent need of protection and humanitarian aid as winter approaches. She emphasized the dire consequences of ongoing displacement and Israeli restrictions on relief efforts.

Hamad presented her assessment during a press conference at the Government Communication Center in Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank.

She stated that nearly 30 percent of relief and shelter supplies are stuck at border crossings due to Israeli restrictions, hindering their delivery to the besieged enclave.

To address the crisis, Hamad noted that it is essential to secure funding and facilitate the entry of relief supplies, shelter materials, winter necessities, and repair tools.

The minister highlighted that over 1.76 million people—accounting for 84 percent of Gaza's population—are currently living in crowded displacement camps, with more than 65 percent of families residing in tents and temporary housing.

She pointed out that over 370,000 housing units have been either damaged or destroyed, leaving more than 300,000 families without sufficient protection against the cold and rain.

Hamad stated that Gaza urgently needs 200,000 tents and 200,000 tarpaulins to meet basic shelter needs, noting that 19 hypothermia-related deaths have been recorded over the past two years.

The Israeli military has killed at least 74,643 Palestinians and injured over 175,962 others since October 2023 in its genocidal war on Gaza, which has left the entire territory in ruins.
