Meanwhile, Israeli air attacks in Gaza killed at least six people on Saturday, including a child, bringing the number of deaths in the last 24 hours to more than 20. More than 1,500 people have been killed since Israel resumed their bombing of Gaza on March 18, according to figures of the Palesty Ministry of Health.
In the last Israeli attacks on Saturday, two people were reported by murders, and two children were injured in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza, while two others died in the Al-Atatra district of Beit Lahiya, in the northern part of Gaza.
Another Palestinian was killed in an attack by Israeli drones in the area of Qizan An-Najjar, south of Khan Younis.
Several victims were also reported after the Israeli air attacks in the shelters of the civilians in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, which Israel had designated a so-called “safe zone”.
Hind Khoudary from Al Jazeera, informing outside the Al-Ahli hospital in Deir El-Balah, Central Gaza, reported that a newborn named Sham was seriously injured after the child's family was hit in an attack.
“He was in a very critical state where his arm was amputated and died a couple of hours later, because his injury was very critical and the doctors could not help his situation,” he said. Death leads to six the number of deaths early on Saturday.
Khoumary also reported that two forced evacuation orders were issued on Saturday in Shujayea and Khan Younis.
“The Palestinians don't know where to go.”
“We are here at the Al-Aqsa hospital and we observe the ambulances that come every day and most of those who are attacked, wounded or killed, are women and children.
“Due to the lack of medical supplies, most of these Palestinian children and women are witnessing a very deteriorated situation,” he added.
On Friday, Ravina Shamdasani, spokesman for the UN High Commissioner of the UN Human Rights, reported that 36 of the 224 Israeli strikes documented in Gaza, between March 18 and April 9, involved deaths that were only women and children.
In a statement, the Al-Haq Palestinian Rights Group said the UN findings also confirmed a pattern that previously identified.
“Such an effort to exterminate women, children and even babies, has not been witnessed in any other modern conflict,” Al-Haq said in a publication on social networks.

Speaking at the Antalyye diplomacy forum in Turkiye on Friday, Lazzarini also reiterated that Israel has been avoiding the entry of food, fuel, medicine and other vital humanitarian supplies in Gaza, contraveting international law.
In a separate publication on X on Saturday, the Communications Director of UNRWA, Juliette Touma, warned that all basic supplies “are running out” in Gaza.
“It means babies, children go to bed hungry.”
