Casualties rise as north Gaza sky ‘clouded’ with Israeli attack drones
Apart from the attacks, drones are everywhere in the skies of Gaza City.
The northern parts of the Strip are clouded with these drones that keep buzzing and causing much concern and worry for the already traumatised and displaced population.
For the past hours, we were able – from this point where we are broadcasting from – to hear the sound of falling bombs on areas in the northern part of the Strip, and on a tent site in the northern part of Gaza City, causing further civilian casualties.
In the earlier evening hours, at a site in Deir el-Balah, two people were reported killed – confirmed by Al-Aqsa Hospital.
There have been more attacks on other public facilities across the eastern part of Gaza City and the northern part, causing further civilian casualties and pushing more people into further internal displacement in the western part of the city.
Israeli raids on southern Gaza kill 10
Earlier an Israeli attack on tents housing forcibly displaced people in Gaza’s southern Khan Younis killed a mother and child. Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza now reports that 10 people have been killed in early morning Israeli attacks on Khan Younis and Rafah.
People flee as drone activity seen as indication of more Israeli attacks to come
These attacks, coupled with the ongoing heavy machineguns and the deployment of quadcopters, particularly in the eastern part of the Strip, have pushed more people into moving towards the central part of Gaza City, seeking temporary shelter in either tent sites or they are forced to move into temporary shelters in buildings that are near collapse.
This is something that has been posing a real risk and hazard for people who are seeking some sort of safety in the midst of this evolving, horrific situation.
A similar situation is repeating itself in Gaza’s central area and further into Khan Younis where a mother and her daughter were killed in an attack in Khan Younis City in the earlier hours.
The attacks continue, and as long as there are drones in the skies of the Gaza Strip, the expectation is there will be a rise in the aerial attacks and that is what’s causing much of the concern and worry among people here.
