Four children missing following Israeli strike in Bureij

Four children remain missing and seven people have been injured following an Israeli attack in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the Wafa news agency reports.

Earlier, we reported that at least two Palestinians had been killed following the attack on a house east of Salah al-Din Street in the Deir el-Balah area.

The injured, which include children and a woman, have been transferred to al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza.


Gaza Health Ministry says Israel killed 38,848 Palestinians since October 7

Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel has killed 38,848 Palestinians since it launched its war on October 7. The ministry said in a statement that 89,459 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began.

At least 54 people were killed in the past 24 hours, it said.

Bodies of Palestinians killed in Israeli bombardment exhumed for reburial

At al-Amal Hospital, run by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Palestinian health officials exhumed at least 12 bodies inside the medical facility to rebury them at another location.

Video shows medical workers digging up bodies from graves inside the facility, then wrapping them in white shrouds before placing them inside vehicles for transfer to a new burial site as relatives watched, some in tears.

Areej Hamouda, a mother of one of the dead, clutched some of the sandy earth from the grave of her son and kissed it before medics exhumed the body.

“They [Israel] shot him and he had a loaf of bread with him, which he had to beg for to get for his daughter. They shot him in the eye,” Hamouda said, weeping. “He was there all day long … They pulled him with a rope when they brought him to be buried here.”

Raed al-Nims, a spokesman for the PRCS, said the organisation had to bury people in the facility when the hospital was under Israeli military siege four months ago. “We couldn’t bury them in the general graveyards so we had to resort to burying them in this place,” he said.


Entire families obliterated in Gaza amid surging attacks

Entire families are being obliterated in the Gaza Strip. Intense bombing in the last 10 days has killed at least 500 people, but the Civil Defence is struggling to remove bodies from under the rubble, so this is a conservative estimate.

Gaza’s Health Ministry has said that least 54 people have been killed in the past 24 hours, the vast majority of the casualties are women and children.

The recent scaleup in attacks has been focused in the central area of the Gaza Strip. We have seen a shocking number of children arriving here at the hospital in Deir el-Balah critically injured or already dead.
