Family displaced for eighth time in Gaza

The Salman family wants the world to know they’ve been displaced eight times since Israel’s war on Gaza began.

As they packed up what’s left of their charred belongings following Israel’s latest attack on Rafah, they compared the military assistance given to Israel with the meagre food aid provided to Palestinians and asked if they’ll ever have anywhere safe to live again.

 

Palestinians continue to flee Rafah through the night

A video posted on Instagram by Palestinian journalists shows groups of people leaving their place of shelter in Rafah amid intense clashes and bombing in the city under cover of darkness.

The journalists say this footage, which has been verified by Al Jazeera, was taken after midnight local time (21:00 GMT).

Civil Defence reports Israeli attack on Gaza City

The organisation says via a statement on its official Telegram channel that its crews are searching through rubble for survivors after the Israeli army attacked the Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City, in the northern Strip.

The statement adds that the strike was on a home belonging to the al-Ghussein family.

A video shared by the group shows its crews and other volunteers crouching in piles of rubble, shouting into the ground to try to contact survivors of the attack.

 

Staff at Rafah’s Kuwaiti Hospital evacuating patients under Israeli fire: Surgeon

We’ve been covering the closure of Rafah’s main medical facility, the Kuwait Specialist Hospital, following an Israeli attack that killed two of its staff members.

Dr Mohammed Tahir, an orthopaedic surgeon, who just returned to the United Kingdom after volunteering in Rafah, described the situation at the hospital..

“I’ve [just] got off the phone to some of my colleagues who I worked with [in Gaza] and they are experiencing artillery fire and quadcopters attacking very nearby. They are in fear for their lives,” Tahir told Al Jazeera.

“It’s a dire situation. This is in Tal as-Sultan, which is in the west of Rafah. This is an area which has not been evacuated and yet there is very fierce, very fierce attacks happening as we speak,” Tahir said.

“The Kuwaiti hospital was evacuated, that is the main hospital and they are moving to al-Mawasi, where they have a field hospital, which is not quite ready. And in the meantime, quadcopters […] are restricting the movements of ambulances. So those that are injured cannot even receive help,” he said.

“The international community needs to do more. We need to allow for medical personnel to enter Gaza. We need to allow medical provisions to enter Gaza. All these hospitals are experiencing diminishing supplies of very critical medicines and also fuel to run […] so the situation is terrible there and I urge the international community to please act.”


It's been a long time since CNN has been this attentive to Gaza. At least this massacre isn't going unnoticed by the mainstream press.
(Most days it's one or no results about Gaza)
