Israeli forces also blew up residential buildings in Rafah’s Saudi neighbourhood, and launched a raid on a house in the vicinity of al-Jalaa Street in western Gaza City.

‘Huge increase’ in displaced people in Gaza City: MSF
Amande Bazerolle, from Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, told Al Jazeera that the organisation has one clinic in Gaza City that is seeing a “huge increase” in newly displaced people.
“We are reporting about 140,000 people and more coming every day, about 300 people per day with injuries but also chronic diseases that are not being taken care of,” Bazerolle told Al Jazeera.
She added that some of their staff are currently stuck in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon, amid Israel’s more-than-a-month-long siege.
“We are [getting] reports from what’s happening there from our staff as well which is very terrible without having access to food or water and just no security to be able to flee the area,” she said.
Bazerolle explained that the amount of medicine getting through to north Gaza is also “very little, a drop in the ocean”.
Injured patients arriving at hospital from ‘very deadly’ areas
A drone missile was fired on a group of people near a grocery shop in the Nuseirat refugee camp. It’s an area filled with many street vendors and shops and people were simply on their way to pick up what they need for the day.
Four people, including a woman, a teenage boy and two others were hit by flying shrapnel as they were walking by this street.
What we saw from the ambulances at Al-Aqsa Hospital behind me, as injured people were coming out, they were clearly in areas that are very lethal, very deadly. Either the shrapnel hit them on the back of their head, or in the abdominal area or in the lower part, causing paralysis. People are unable to walk for a long time or sometimes become disabled permanently because of the bombings.
Elsewhere this morning, five people were reported killed in a tent in Khan Younis. In Gaza City, five people were killed, including three children and two women from one family who were sheltering inside a residential home.
