Thousands forcibly displaced from north Gaza without any shelter: Civil Defence
Gaza’s Civil Defence reports that many hundreds of families forcibly displaced from northern Gaza after being threatened by the Israeli army to go south are now sleeping on the ground without any shelter.
People do not even have plastic sheets to use as tents, the rescue organisation said, adding that families are financially incapable of buying any supplies that could provide them with some respite.
“We emphasise that the Israeli occupation bears direct responsibility for the tragic conditions in which thousands of displaced people are at risk of death, in grave violation of international humanitarian law,” the group said, calling for international intervention.

Victims trapped under rubble as Gaza ministry reports 37 killed in 24 hours
At least 37 people have been killed over the past 24 hours across Gaza, the Health Ministry says.
Among the dead were four Palestinians who died while rescue teams attempted to pull them from destroyed buildings. At least 175 people were wounded in Israeli strikes with many people still trapped under the debris.
Of the Palestinians killed, the ministry said five died as they attempted to pick up desperately needed food aid. At least 2,531 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or military contractors in aid-related incidents since June.
