Civilian casualties mount as Israel keeps up attacks, blockade

Israeli military has carried out more attacks, killing and wounding many civilians.

What’s really concerning is more families are being deliberately targeted by the Israeli military inside their homes or the tents that they are sheltering in. Starting from the early hours of Sunday, many of these attacks targeted tents in the city of Khan Younis, particularly the al-Mawasi evacuation zone, which has turned into more of a death trap for the displaced and traumatised population.

The majority of casualties transferred to the Nasser Medical Complex were women and children.

This scenario keeps repeating itself over and over across Gaza.

In the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, a man and his daughter were reported killed by Israeli drone strikes. Another attack on the same neighbourhood targeted a family in their home, killing more children and more women.

Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation continues to be quite difficult and challenging with each passing day, with hundreds of thousands of people living on less than a meal a day – particularly the children, who do not have proper access to food supplies or water.
