Another bloody night across central Gaza
It has been another bloody night across central Gaza. Seventeen people were killed in two separate attacks on homes in Nuseirat accommodating displaced families who had recently evacuated from Rafah.
The first strike killed 10 people, including women and children. Five of them were from the same family. We’re looking at double the number of injuries. More people are still trapped under the rubble.
An hour later, the second attack targeted another family’s home. The victims include not only the parents and their children, but also the grandparents. This is not the first time we’ve seen such relentless attacks on Nuseirat camp.
Two more people have also been killed on the coastal road in Gaza’s central-western area. Close to 35 people wounded from these attacks are at hospitals with critical injuries.
‘Enough of our blood. The war must stop’
Residents are reporting heavy bombardments from tanks and planes in several areas of Rafah, where more than a million people had taken refuge before Israel began its offensive on the southern city in May.
“Rafah is being bombed without any intervention from the world. The occupation [Israel] is acting freely here,” a Rafah resident and father of six told the Reuters news agency via a chat app.
Israeli tanks were operating inside the Tal as-Sultan, al-Izba and Zurub areas in western Rafah as well as Shaboura in the heart of the city.
They also continued to occupy the eastern neighbourhoods and outskirts as well as the border with Egypt and the vital Rafah border crossing.
“There are Israeli forces in most areas. There is heavy resistance too, and they are making them pay dearly, but the occupation is not ethical, and they are destroying the city and the refugee camp,” the resident said.
In central Gaza, two Israeli air strikes on two houses killed 17 Palestinians in Nuseirat and Bureij.
“Every more hour of delay, Israel kills more people. We want a ceasefire now,” said Khalil, 45, a teacher from Gaza. “Enough of our blood, I say it to Israel, America and our leaders too – the war must stop.”
Gaza gov’t says 3,500 children at risk of dying from malnourishment
As aid dries up in Gaza due to border closures, hunger is gripping an already weary population, warns Gaza’s Government Media Office. The lack of aid, including food, nutritional supplements and vaccines, has put 3,500 children at risk of dying from malnourishment, warned the office.
“We call on the international community and all countries of the free world to condemn this crime, which … violates international law,” it said.
Gaza death toll rises
At least 37,372 Palestinians have been killed and 85,452 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, Gaza’s Health Ministry announced.
