Earlier, we reported that at least 20 people were killed in an attack on homes in besieged northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya – the scene of repeated mass-casualty attacks in recent weeks.
A video shows residents recovering the bodies of those killed, including a child, from under the rubble of the targeted house. Medics said the same town was hit earlier in the day, killing at least seven people after an attack on two houses.
Israel deployed tanks into Jabalia, Beit Hanoon and Beit Lahiya on October 5 and ordered hundreds of thousands of Palestinian residents to flee to the south of the Strip.
Palestinians say the new Israeli offensive and orders for people to leave are aimed at emptying northern Gaza to create buffer zones.
‘Appalling that hospitals in Gaza continue to be attacked’: WHO
An Israeli attack on Kamal Adwan Hospital resulted in six children being injured, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
“Shortly after the WHO-led mission to Kamal Adwan Hospital yesterday, the facility’s third floor was reportedly hit again, injuring six children who are patients there,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said.
“It is appalling that hospitals in Gaza continue to be attacked, patients continue to be harmed, and health workers and humanitarians continue to work under life-threatening conditions.”
