Israeli strikes pound areas in central, northern Gaza
A military chopper fired a rocket on tent sites – not only destroying the targeted tent but also setting fire to the surrounding tents. At least 10 of these tents all burned down because of the severe fire that spread everywhere. It leaves more people now without any place to shelter in.
These people have been for the past few months moving from one place to another, sheltering in these makeshift tents, and now they find themselves in the open air without any support necessary for their survival.
Eight of the people who were in that area, including the people inside the tents, were critically injured.
Meanwhile, in the northern part of the Strip, the Israeli military continues with its systematic demolishing of homes in Jabalia and the northern part of Beit Lahiya. According to eyewitnesses, there are areas that used to be densely populated with thousands of people that are now completely flat.
Just within the past few minutes, we received confirmed reports of a huge explosion near Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Children, women in Gaza poisoned by canned food left by Israeli forces: Civil Defence
The Palestinian Civil Defence in the Gaza Strip has released a video of 15 children and women that it says were hospitalised for poisoning after eating canned food left behind by Israeli forces.
Spokesman Mahmoud Basal wrote in his Telegram channel that the food was left behind in the Shujayea neighbourhood during a previous incursion into the area in the hunger-stricken north.
“We urge citizens to exercise caution when encountering such canned goods, especially dairy products. Refrain from consuming them, as the Israeli occupation forces intentionally leave these spoiled items to harm those who consume them.”
