The Ministry of Health spokesperson in Gaza announced that the death toll from the Al-Rasheed Street Massacre has risen to 112 martyrs and 760 injuries. 

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) targeted civilians gathered at Nablus Square near Rasheed Street in Gaza, where they were awaiting humanitarian aid, resulting in the martyrdom of dozens and the injury of hundreds.

Hosam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, reported that at least 10 martyrs and 160 wounded were brought in following the IOF's bombardment of Nablus Square.

He further stated that the hospital received hundreds of wounded individuals due to the bombardment of civilians in northern Gaza, with injuries mainly concentrated in the head and upper body, indicating deliberate targeting.

The head of the nursing department at Al-Shifa Complex drew parallels between today's events and previous deliberate hospital massacres, noting that Al-Shifa Complex received numerous wounded individuals following the IOF's bombardment of Nablus Square in the north of the Strip.

Mohammed Saleh, the director of Al-Awda Hospital, reported that the hospital received at least 90 wounded individuals following the IOF's bombardment of Nablus Square, highlighting that they are treating dozens of patients despite the hospital being out of service and experiencing power outages.
