Footage emerges from Israeli strike on a marketplace in Gaza City
Videos shared on social media and verified by Al Jazeera show the shocking immediate aftermath of an Israeli strike on a market in Gaza City.
In one video, a disoriented man covered in blood is seen trying to lift himself from the ground before people rush to his aid, and a blood-stained street is seen covered in fruit and vegetables that have been knocked from stands by the attack.
People lie on the street amid chaotic scenes, some visibly injured, others lifeless. In other videos, the injured are brought to the al-Ahli Arab Hospital in a motorcycle trailer and on the back of a food truck. The injured are carried or helped from the vehicles while others help carry bodies, some contorted and showing no signs of life, towards the hospital.
Due to the graphic and distressing nature of these videos, we have decided not to share them on this live page.
Seven Palestinians killed in Israeli strike on Gaza Market
We have been reporting on an Israeli strike on a busy market in central Gaza. Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are now reporting that seven Palestinians have been killed in that attack.
Also, today’s death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen, bringing the total to at least 38 people killed.
World Central Kitchen says Israeli strikes kill another of its personnell
The international food aid NGO reports via a statement on X that one of its volunteers in Gaza, named Jalal, was killed when the Israeli army bombed near one of its aid facilities.
It added that six others were wounded in the strike.
Last year, several World Central Kitchen employees were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza, marking the first time foreign aid workers were killed during Israel’s war.
Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the loss of one of our volunteers in Gaza. Israeli strikes hit near one of our WCK-supported community kitchens just as meals were being distributed. Jalal was tragically killed and six other people were injured. We will continue to support…
