Israeli attack critically wounds several Palestinians near Gaza City

Israeli forces bombed a group of Palestinians near Gaza City, critically wounding several people, according to Wafa news agency. Medical sources told Wafa the attack took place in the al-Twam area, northwest of Gaza City. Separately, an Israeli attack wounded four Palestinians near the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday evening, according to Wafa news agency. One man was also seriously wounded after being shot by Israeli forces in the central Gaza Strip, the agency reported. Hamas accused Israel of attempting to create famine in Gaza by continuing to suspend aid and severing its last working line of electricity to the enclave. Aid groups have stated that this electricity cut would deprive Gazans of clean water. A desalination plant in Deir al-Balah has been operating at approximately 30 percent capacity on backup generators following the power cut. The head of the UNRWA in Gaza warned of growing humanitarian needs and the risk of another hunger crisis if aid blockages continue.
