A 27-year-old pregnant Palestinian woman, Iman Shalouf, died on Saturday after being shot in the head by Israeli forces in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, according to her family and medical workers. She was nearly eight months pregnant and was inside her family’s tent when the gunfire struck, according to paramedics and witnesses. Her mother-in-law, Wathfa Abu Mashi, said she heard gunfire while praying and was told by her daughter that Iman was in the tent. When she checked, she found Iman covered in blood after being hit by a bullet. Iman’s husband, Ismail Abu Mashi, expressed frustration over the ongoing violence, saying, “Where is the ceasefire they keep talking about? There is no such thing. There is killing every day. People are dying here every day.” Iman was rushed to Nasser Hospital, where doctors initially detected her unborn baby’s heartbeat. However, a few hours later, both Iman and her unborn child died. Her family had already chosen the name Ayoub for the baby, who was due to be born in November. Relatives and community members gathered at the hospital later that day to hold funeral prayers for Iman and her child before carrying their bodies for burial in Khan Younis. They were buried side by side. The Israel Defense Forces said they were looking into the incident. The Gaza health ministry reported that 10 Palestinians were killed and 56 wounded in Israeli attacks over the previous 48 hours, amid artillery shelling and gunfire in several areas of northern, central, and southern Gaza. Four members of the same family—Momen Ahmed, his wife Haneen Saleh, and their daughters Lana, 12, and Bana, 8—were killed when their home in Beit Lahiya was struck on Thursday night. Six other Palestinians were reported killed in Khan Younis and Gaza City on Friday, including a man who died of wounds from an earlier attack. Across Gaza, several others were injured in attacks over the weekend, including a six-months-pregnant woman and a child in Beit Lahiya. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, most of Gaza’s 2.1 million people are living in overcrowded displacement sites as the rainy season approaches, putting them at risk of flooding and disease. Efforts to assist them are hindered by funding shortages and access restrictions. On 31 August, a temporary halt to desalination in Israel reduced the water available to about 1 million people in Gaza who rely on the Israeli water grid. Several electricity generators at hospitals across the Gaza Strip have also stopped working due to shortages of spare parts and fuel. According to the health ministry, 1,369 Palestinians have been killed and 4,627 wounded since the fragile ceasefire took effect on 11 October 2025. Since Israel’s war in Gaza began on 7 October 2023, at least 73,783 Palestinians have been killed and 174,738 wounded, according to the ministry.
