Israeli forces have killed 53 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip and levelled 16 buildings in Gaza City, including three residential towers, as they ramp up an offensive to seize the northern urban centre and displace its population.
At least 35 of the victims on Sunday were killed in Gaza City, according to medics.
Two more Palestinians also died of malnutrition in the Strip, according to its Ministry of Health, taking the death toll from hunger to 422 since the beginning of Israel’s war.
In Gaza City, the Israeli military marked the al-Kawthar tower in the southern Remal neighbourhood as a target, before launching https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/14/israel-flattens-more-gaza-towers-as-strikes-kill-fifty-three-and-famine-toll-risesmissile strikes that destroyed the building two hours later. The relentless bombardment has forced tens of thousands to flee.
“We don’t know where to go,” said Marwan al-Safi, a displaced Palestinian. “We need a solution to this situation… We are dying here.”
