Five children killed in Israeli attack on northern Gaza

At least five children were killed in an Israeli air attack in northern Gaza, the Palestinian Wafa news agency has reported. An Israeli drone struck the group of children playing near a cafe in Shati refugee camp, the report said, adding that several people were also wounded in the attack.

Gaza’s Civil Defence said at least three people were killed in the al-Faluja area in a separate attack. In the last 10 days, Israeli forces have renewed their attacks on northern Gaza.

According to UNRWA, about 400,000 people are trapped in the north as residents trying to flee southward have been shot at. Those who have decided to remain due to the lack of safe areas in the south have also been repeatedly hit.

Israel bombs and kills Palestinian children playing football in north Gaza

An Israeli drone attack just targeted children playing football in the al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. At least six Palestinians were killed including five children and a woman. Many wounded were taken to al-Ahli Hospital.

Endless air strikes, explosions, quadcopters – people in northern Gaza say they’re trying to call local and international organisations to rescue the injured from the bombed-out buildings. But it has been extremely difficult for Palestinian Civil Defence workers to reach those trapped.

At least 400,000 Palestinians are stranded in the north during the latest Israeli onslaught. They’re surrounded by Israeli forces and under constant fire daily.

The Israeli military issued orders for people to evacuate, but whoever tries to move is being targeted and shot. People who were able to leave their houses were blocked by sandbag barricades. It’s been nine days without food, water, electricity. Residents tell us there were many Palestinians shot and their bodies are on the streets with no one able to remove them.
