Health authorities in Gaza said on Sunday the death toll resulting from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the territory has climbed to 27,365 martyrs, the majority of whom are women and children. 

The number of injured individuals has surged to 66,663, according to the Wafa news agency. 

Medical sources further revealed that at least 8,000 people are unaccounted for, with many of them still trapped under rubble or scattered in the streets, as Israeli forces are blocking access of ambulance crews and civil defense teams to many areas across Gaza. 

Simultaneously, a number of civilians were reported killed and others injured by Israeli forces' gunfire in various neighborhoods of Gaza City, coinciding with continued Israeli airstrikes in the southern region of the strip.

Local sources reported that Israeli forces fired live ammunition towards displaced individuals at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, resulting in the killing of a citizen from sniper fire.

In another incident, an Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Sabra neighborhood in Gaza City, leading to the tragic killing of two citizens and the injury of others.
