The ministry also reported that four people among the casualties were killed while waiting for aid, with 57 others wounded.

Hospitals in Gaza remain on the brink of collapse as fuel and essential supplies, including blood, grow increasingly scarce, the ministry warned.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) announced Wednesday that escalating military activity in Gaza City has compelled it to temporarily suspend operations in the city. 

Tens of thousands of people are facing severe humanitarian conditions, the organization warned.

This comes as 'Israel' closed the last southern-to-northern route amid its latest Gaza City offensive, ordering residents to head south.
