Gaza City, July 31 (RHC)-- Israel is relentlessly continuing its aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 1,370 people and injuring around 7,700 others since it launched its offensive on July 8th.

In its most recent military attacks, Israeli forces killed one Palestinian in Rafah and five others in Khan Yunis. A Palestinian journalist was also killed, succumbing to injuries sustained in an Israeli attack.

On Wednesday, Israeli forces killed at least 17 people and injured 200 others in a busy market in Shejaiya district near the Gaza City. Tel Aviv says that overnight it attacked over 19 locations in Gaza. Israel has targeted hospitals, clinics, schools and refugee shelters over the past several days.

Earlier on Thursday, Israel mobilized 16,000 reservists for the ground military operations in Gaza, putting the total number at 86,000.

Meanwhile, doctors working in the besieged Gaza Strip say the coastal enclave is facing a serious crisis, as Israeli forces continue to carry out their deadly attacks against Palestinians.

According to physicians with the Palestine Red Cross Society (PRCS), doctors do not have access to water or electricity power. Earlier this week, Israel bombed Gaza’s sole power plant, cutting off electricity and making it even more difficult for hospitals and clinics to function and treat injured civilians.
