Since Israel breached the Gaza truce, more than 1,560 people have died.

Al Jazeera's Hind Khoudary reported from outside the al-Ahli Hospital in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza, that health officials say that since Israel breached a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas last month, Israeli assaults on Gaza have killed more than 1,560 people.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported in a new statement on Saturday that at least 21 individuals had been killed by Israeli attacks during the most recent 24-hour reporting period, increasing the total number of fatalities since Israel launched its bombardment of Gaza on March 18 to 1,563. Rescuers said hundreds of them were children.

According to the ministry's most recent daily report, since the conflict began in October 2023, 50,933 people have been dead and 116,045 wounded.

An Israeli attack on the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza on Saturday left two children injured and at least one person dead. Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli drone strike on the Qizan an-Najjar neighborhood, south of Khan Younis, while two more were killed in the al-Atatra sector of Beit Lahiya, in northern Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes on civilians' tent shelters in the al-Mawasi region, west of Khan Younis, which Israel had declared a "safe zone," also resulted in a number of reported injuries. A newborn girl named Sham had died from her injuries following an attack on her family.

She stated, "She was in extremely critical condition when her arm was amputated, and she passed away a few hours later because her injury was so severe and doctors could not help her."

According to Khoudary, the majority of the ambulances that arrive at the hospital every day are bringing women and children.

"The majority of these Palestinian women and children are experiencing a very deteriorating situation because of the lack of medical supplies," she continued.

"Post-apocalyptic"

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said Friday that 36 of the 224 Israeli attacks in Gaza that were recorded between March 18 and April 9 killed women and children.

The Palestinian rights organization Al-Haq said in a statement that the UN's results further supported a trend it had previously noticed.

In a social media post, Al-Haq claimed that no other contemporary conflict had seen such a deliberate attempt to eradicate women, boys, girls, and even infants.

Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), called the situation in Gaza a "post-apocalyptic" killing zone in an interview with Al Jazeera's Upfront.

Lazzarini also reaffirmed that Israel has been blocking the entry of food, fuel, medication, and other essential humanitarian supplies into Gaza since early March, in violation of international law, while speaking at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Türkiye on Friday.

UNRWA Director of Communications Juliette Touma issued a warning that all essential supplies "are running out" in Gaza in a separate post on X on Saturday.

"It indicates that infants and kids will go to bed hungry."

With officials in recent days announcing preparations to capture more areas of southern Gaza and issuing a number of orders for forcible relocation, Israel has vowed to continue its military offensive.

Following the most recent Israeli directives for Shujayea and Khan Younis on Saturday, Khoudary stated, "Palestinians do not know where to go."

About 400,000 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced throughout Gaza since the shaky truce that went into effect in January broke down nearly a month ago, according to UNRWA.

As it increased its attacks on the southern portion of the Strip, the Israeli military claimed to have finished building what it refers to as the Morag Corridor, which separates the city of Rafah from the rest of Gaza.

In reaction to suspected Hamas rockets fired at Israel from this area, the Israeli army's Arabic-speaking spokesperson on Saturday issued additional orders for the forced relocation of many neighborhoods in Khan Younis and threatened an impending strike "with great force."

Israel seals off Rafah and gives Gaza additional instructions for forced relocation.

Residents were instructed to evacuate their homes and travel to al-Mawasi, which is located on the sea shore of Gaza, from Qizan an-Najjar, Qizan Abu Rashwan, al-Salam, al-Manara, al-Qurain, Maen, al-Batn al-Sameen, Jurt al-Lot, al-Fakhari, and the southern neighborhoods of Bani Suheila.

At least two civilians were murdered in a flurry of artillery fire and drone attacks on Khan Younis during the announcement.

The Morag Corridor essentially made Rafah an "Israeli security zone," according to Israel Katz, the country's defense minister. He also indicated that the Netzarim Corridor, which splits the Strip in two, would be extended.
