Three killed in Israeli strike on car in Nuseirat camp

The Israeli military has killed three people in what appears to be a targeted strike on a car in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, local media is reporting.

It is not yet known who the occupants of the vehicle were. The deaths bring the total number of Palestinians killed in central Gaza in recent hours to 14, after two separate strikes on family homes in the Bureji camp killed 11 people.

Nuseirat attack victims ran free meal kitchen for displaced

The Israeli military has continued to carry out air strikes throughout the Gaza Strip. The worst was an overnight attack on residential homes in Bureij refugee camp that killed 11 people.

The civil defence crew told us that the victims were part of a displaced family from Rafah city. They include women and children. When we showed up at the hospital this morning, one surviving family member told us there were still more people under the rubble.

In a separate attack [in Nuseirat camp], an Israeli attack drone struck a car carrying three family members. We’ve learned that the family ran a kitchen that provided free meals for displaced people. This is not the first time this particular family, which is well known in Nuseirat, has been targeted.

In the initial weeks of the war, 24 members of the family were killed.

Over 98 percent of Gaza’s bakeries closed: Gaza media office

More than three weeks after Israel seized the Rafah crossing, Gaza is suffering from a severe shortage of fuel, propane and medicine, compounding the suffering of Gaza’s sick and hungry, said Gaza’s Government Media Office.

Due to the lack of fuel and propane, more than 98 percent of Gaza’s bakeries have been forced to close, cutting off a key food source, while more than 700 water wells have stopped functioning, said the media office.

“We warn the international community and all countries of the world against the catastrophic worsening of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,” it said.
