A deadly Israeli airstrike on the Bureij camp in Gaza on Tuesday claimed the life of a girl, named Janna Al-Tartori, just one day after she celebrated her 10th birthday.
The young girl's lifeless body, wrapped in a white shroud, was seen being held by her grieving father in a heart-wrenching video.
The airstrike resulted in the deaths of 29 people from the Shouqa and Tartor families.
Over 41,000 Palestinians have lost their lives, including 16,456 children and 11,000 women in Israeli military offensives in Gaza since October 7.
Almost 95,497 have been injured in Israel’s war on Gaza for eleven months.
The United Nations (UN) reported that two-thirds of buildings across the Gaza Strip have been "damaged or destroyed." Israeli attacks have also killed at least 270 aid workers.
The restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies have exacerbated the situation in Gaza.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) directed Israel to ensure basic services and humanitarian aid delivery in the besieged enclave.
The Palestinian government's information office reported that almost 1.7 million Gazans have been displaced due to relentless air and artillery strikes by the Israeli military.
Thousands of children in Gaza have been diagnosed with malnutrition, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Earlier, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) head Cindy McCain said people in Gaza are starving to death.
The WFP estimated that around 1.1 million people are "struggling with catastrophic hunger and starvation" due to Israel's severe restrictions on food, water, medicine, and fuel supplies to the besieged enclave.
