Israeli aggression with drones and artillery kills 3 Palestinians in Gaza

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday, May 3, that two Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, raising the death toll from the Israeli genocide since October 2023 to 72,610.

This came in a statistical statement issued by the ministry, in which it said that the hospitals in the Gaza Strip received "two new martyrs and 3 injured" within 24 hours, and the ministry did not clarify the circumstances of the casualties, while these data come in light of the continuation of daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement since October 10,  2025, through shelling and shooting, which leads to the death and injury of civilians.

In this context, the ministry explained that the total number of victims of Israeli violations of the agreement since its entry into force has risen to "830 martyrs and 2,345 injured," noting that  the total number of victims of the Israeli genocide since October 2023 has risen to "72,610 martyrs and 172,448 injured."

Gaza. Palestinian child killed by bomb thrown by Israeli drone

A Palestinian child was killed and two other civilians were injured on Sunday morning as a result of the explosion of a bomb dropped by an Israeli drone on the city of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, as part of the daily violations of the ceasefire agreement in force since October 10, 2025.

According to medical sources, the body of a 15-year-old child and injured people arrived at Nasser Medical Hospital as a result of being targeted by an Israeli drone in the Qizan Rashwan area, south of Khan Younis.

Eyewitnesses said that an Israeli Quad Helicopter drone dropped a bomb on a gathering of civilians in the area outside the area under the army's deployment and control, killing the child and wounding two others.

In addition, the southern and eastern areas of the city of Khan Younis witnessed artillery shelling and heavy gunfire from Israeli vehicles during the night and early hours of Sunday, according to eyewitnesses, and  the Israeli army carried out a violent bombing operation inside its areas of deployment east of the city.

According to witnesses, Israeli artillery vehicles heavily shelled various locations in the eastern areas of the Gaza Strip cities to the south and north.

Gaza.. a deficit of 86% of the needs of laboratories and blood banks

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said on Sunday that the crisis of laboratories and blood banks is worsening in light of a severe shortage of testing materials by 86 percent, and warned of the repercussions of this on the medical follow-up procedures of patients.

The ministry said in a statement: "The crisis of the shortage of laboratory testing materials in laboratories and blood banks has worsened. 86 percent of the needs of laboratories and blood banks are zero."

"The blood gas testing materials have been fully exhausted in the laboratory of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital," she said, noting that the remaining quantities in other hospitals are sufficient for only a few days.

It warned that the continuation of this shortage threatens "medical follow-up procedures for medical cases, conducting operations, emergency cases, and intensive care", calling on the concerned authorities to intervene urgently to provide and bring laboratory supplies and blood banks to the Gaza Strip's hospitals.

This crisis comes in the availability of laboratory materials, amid a shortage of 50% in the list of medicines and in medical consumables by 57%, according to data published by the ministry last April.

The Ministry of Health warned of a "catastrophe" facing the health system in Gaza, due to the severe shortage of medicines and medical consumables, which threatens the health system's ability to respond.

According to official Palestinian data, this shortage is exacerbated by Israel's repudiation of its commitments stipulated in the ceasefire agreement in force since October 10, 2025, including the opening of crossings and the entry of relief and medical materials.

In a previous statement, the ministry said that 22 hospitals (out of 38) and 90 health centers were out of service, while the infrastructure of the operating facilities was severely damaged.

The agreement was reached two years after a genocidal war that Israel began on October 8,  2023, with US support, and left a massive destruction of 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, at a cost of reconstruction estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
