‘More people going to die’ as Gaza waits for start of ceasefire on Sunday
Within the past 24 hours, the Israeli military scaled up its attacks across the Gaza Strip, mainly targeting buildings and public facilities, and more people were killed inside their homes and shelters where they had been seeking refuge and protection.
In the past few hours, it has been quite difficult and bloody here in the central area of Gaza, mainly in the Nuseirat refugee camp, where heavy artillery shelling and drone attacks have struck many of the residential buildings and people outside in the street.
In the north … the majority of people killed happened to be from areas in the eastern part of Gaza City and the city centre of Old Gaza.
If we just look at the span of time from the moment the ceasefire – or the agreement of the ceasefire – was announced, to now, we are looking at 87 people being killed, 21 of them happened to be children and 25 women among the dead.
From this time to Sunday, it is going to be a very long time for the ceasefire to take effect and the worry is increasing as more people are going to die the longer the ceasefire takes.
