An Israeli airstrike destroyed a warehouse storing nutritional supplies for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers in Gaza overnight into Tuesday, while separate strikes killed at least seven Palestinians across the territory, deepening what health officials are describing as a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The warehouse belonged to Ard El Insan (AEI), a local humanitarian organisation working with Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) to support roughly 60 medical points serving up to 100 women and children daily. The force of the explosion collapsed large sections of the building, including the roof and walls, burying the entire stock beneath rubble and rendering it unfit for human consumption.
