Israeli strikes killed at least 34 people in Gaza City overnight, including children, said health officials on Sunday (September 21, 2025), as Israel presses ahead with its offensive in the famine-stricken city and several countries prepare to recognise a Palestinian state.
Health officials at Shifa Hospital, where most of the bodies were brought, said the dead included 14 people killed in a late-night strike on Saturday (September 20, 2025), which hit a residential block in the southern side of the city. Health staff said a nurse who worked at the hospital was among the dead, along with his wife and three children.
