Israeli army ‘blows up’ civilian buildings in Gaza’s Nuseirat camp
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report that Israeli forces have destroyed residential buildings north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
The report of the early morning attacks comes after the Nuseirat area was subjected to 24 hours of nonstop Israeli artillery fire, air raids, drone attacks and bombardment by Israeli naval vessels on Friday, according to UN staff who recounted the terror of civilians trapped by the attacks.
Israeli bombing kills five in Nuseirat refugee camp
An Al Jazeera correspondent has reported that at least five Palestinians have been killed and a number of others injured after Israeli forces bombed a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Palestinian news agency Wafa also reports that Israeli artillery has shelled a house belonging to the Samman family in the Jabalia refugee camp.
Palestinians trapped beneath debris after deadly Israeli bombing in Jabalia
One of the main attacks that took place yesterday evening was on two residential buildings in Jabalia refugee camp where at least 84 Palestinians have been confirmed killed.
These two buildings are expected to be housing at least 170 Palestinians. [People] are still until now stuck underneath the debris of those two buildings in Jabalia, and the situation there is getting worse.
We spoke to several civil defence emergency workers in the north who said they are unable to reach the location and now the rescue operations are being made by civilians living in the neighbourhood.
Israeli military siege of Jabalia stops Palestinian children accessing polio vaccine
The third phase of the polio vaccination campaign is expected to start today in northern Gaza.
What we mean by northern Gaza right now does not include Jabalia. It is not Beit Lahiya or Beit Hanoon towns, either. We are talking about Gaza City, only, which families have recently fled to from areas of fighting and confrontations in the north.
We are expecting that the campaign will be delivered today by 216 teams across 106 fixed sites across Gaza City.
The World Health Organization in cooperation with UNICEF and key partners on the ground in the northern part of Gaza will start vaccinating children. The campaign is expected to reach at least 100,000 Palestinian children.
However, although Israel is giving permission, children in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon will be deprived of vaccination throughout this campaign that is supposed to start today.
