Gaza’s Civil Defence assisting flood victims near Khan Younis
The organisation says its crews are responding to dozens of tents in displaced persons’ camps in several areas of the al-Mawasi area near the city of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
A brief statement on Telegram said the tents were flooded following strong rainfall in the enclave.
Israeli army carries out three attacks across Gaza: Report
Citing local sources, the Wafa news agency has reported on three separate Israeli attacks in Gaza earlier today:
- Israeli artillery shelled the outskirts of the Shujayea neighbourhood in Gaza City
- An Israeli drone fired on the eastern areas of the Jabalia refugee camp in the north of the Strip
- Israeli naval vessels opened fire towards the Rafah coast in the enclave’s south.
No injuries have been reported so far.
Israeli forces demolish more buildings in Rafah
Israeli troops have blown up several buildings in the southern Gaza city of Rafah despite the truce with Hamas.
The demolitions appear to be part of a systematic campaign targeting remaining infrastructure in war-devastated Gaza. Citing satellite images, news reports estimate Israel’s military has destroyed at least 1,500 buildings since the ceasefire went into effect on October 10.
The UN estimated in July that 69 percent of the structures in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed, including at least 245,000 homes. With more than 100 dump trucks working full-time, it would take more than 15 years to clear the rubble.
Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel returned 15 more Palestinians’ bodies
The ministry says in a statement on Telegram that Israel returned the bodies yesterday through the International Committee of the Red Cross, bringing the total number of bodies received to 330.
It added that only 97 bodies released by Israel have been identified so far.
Medical students step up in Gaza hospitals amid severe doctor shortages
Dr Hamis Alessi, a neuro-rehabilitation and pain medicine consultant, has been volunteering at hospitals in Gaza City since the beginning of the war. He says they’ve had to rely on medical students due to an extreme shortage of doctors and nurses.
“Since the beginning of the war, we had to deal with hundreds and hundreds of injured individuals 24/7,” Alessi told Al Jazeera, adding that the workload became even more taxing as most doctors left Gaza City following an enforced evacuation order imposed by the Israeli army, and others were killed.
“And to cover this massive deficiency, we had to rely on the limited number of doctors who are working here, but also we encourage medical students, especially in their higher years – like fourth year and fifth year students – to come and join us in the hospital and under the supervision of senior doctors, they were trained to do some advanced surgical procedures,” he said.
In two years of war, Israel has killed at least 1,722 healthcare workers, an average of more than two every day, according to UN data.
UN experts have called it “medicide”, and an independent UN Commission of Inquiry has concluded it constitutes the crime against humanity of extermination.
