Witnesses say emergency workers targeted after trying to help injured in al-Mawasi

Emergency workers and civil defence crews are among the hundreds of people injured in Israel’s attacks on al-Mawasi camp on Saturday.

Witnesses say rescuers were targeted by Israeli forces as they tried to help the wounded.

More bodies recovered from Sheikh Radwan

We have additional details from the Israeli attack on the Gaza City neighbourhood.

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic, citing Palestinian media, are reporting that emergency crews have recovered three bodies and rescued seven wounded people from the targeted residential building.

Death toll from attack on Shati refugee camp rises to 22

‘Shujayea has been wiped out’

Palestinians in the war-battered northern district of Shujayea are struggling to survive after Israeli forces hammered the Gaza City neighbourhood during a two-week attack.

Resident Fares Amer Mushtaha said: “As you can see, Shujayea has been reduced to dust. It has been wiped out. They bombed us without warning, they did not drop leaflets or call. Missiles just started falling on civilians – women, children and elderly people. The occupation army told us to go to western Gaza, then they invaded and targeted it with their missiles.”

Another resident, Nael Alsousi, said Israeli forces attacked Shujayea’s water supplies and “one can say there is no water at all”.

“Wells were completely destroyed and so was the municipal water network. Even the tanker trucks that used to carry fresh water can no longer enter the neighbourhood because of the destruction of the infrastructure and the roads,” Alsousi told Al Jazeera.

‘Palestinians bombed at every corner of Gaza’

There’s been a clear escalation by the Israeli military in northern Gaza. What we know from local sources is at least 16 Palestinians have been killed in the urban areas of Gaza City.

A number of residential homes were targeted without any prior warning. At least 15 people were wounded. Israel’s military continues to target key civilian infrastructure such as water sources to make the north of the Strip uninhabitable.

Other areas were also hit this morning, including the Nuseirat refugee camp near the Netzarim Corridor. We’re getting initial information that at least six Palestinians were killed in Rafah district in southern Gaza.

There’s mounting pressure on civil defence rescuers with severe fuel shortages and repeated attacks on their crews. Desperate Palestinians are being bombed at every corner of Gaza.


Health Ministry: 38,584 Palestinians killed in Gaza

At least 38,584 Palestinians have been killed and 88,881 others wounded in Israel’s attack on Gaza since October 7, the Health Ministry says.

The latest death toll includes at least 141 people killed over the last 24 hours, it added.

The grim figures are likely much higher with thousands of bodies believed buried under the vast destruction of Gaza’s fallen buildings.
