Gaza, MINA – Israeli occ forces killed two Palestinians on Thursday by live fire in Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, amid continued Israeli violations of the ceasefire and escalating warnings of a severe humanitarian catastrophe.
Medical sources at Nasser Medical Complex confirmed that the two civilians, aged 19 and 32, were shot and killed in the Sheikh Nasser area east of Khan Yunis, outside the zones of Israeli military deployment.
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect on October 11, at least 492 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,350 others injured as a result of ongoing Israeli attacks, according to local health authorities.
Gaza’s Civil Defense warned that the enclave is facing an unprecedented humanitarian collapse affecting all aspects of daily life, urging urgent international intervention to allow the entry of humanitarian aid.

Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal said Gaza is experiencing a complete breakdown, citing the lack of shelter, the destruction of streets and residential areas vulnerable to bombardment at any moment, and hospitals operating on the brink of collapse.
He stressed that the situation requires immediate international action and humanitarian pressure to save the wounded, the sick, children, and displaced families.
The warning comes as extreme winter cold continues to grip Gaza, exacerbated by severe shortages of heating supplies, particularly among displaced Palestinians and other vulnerable groups, including the wounded.
Humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate as Israel maintains tight restrictions on the entry of essential goods, humanitarian aid, and medical supplies, while keeping the Rafah crossing largely closed, preventing patients from traveling abroad for urgent medical treatment.[]
