At least 104 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in a series of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, including 37 civilians reportedly seeking food aid, as the humanitarian situation in the besieged territory continues to deteriorate.

Medical sources in Gaza reported that many of the victims were waiting near aid distribution points when the strikes occurred. The latest escalation comes amid severe shortages of food, water, and medicine, with international agencies warning of a looming famine.

One of the deadliest attacks hit a residential apartment in the southern part of Al-Nuseirat refugee camp, killing nine people, including a baby and a young child, according to Al-Awda Hospital officials.

The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed the deaths of five more civilians in an Israeli strike on Tel al-Hawa, a neighborhood in southern Gaza City. Meanwhile, Al-Ahli Arab Hospital reported four additional fatalities from separate attacks across the city.
