Gaza: At least 400 people have been reported killed across Gaza following nonstop Israeli air strikes in the last 24 hours, which Palestinian media described as the “heaviest bombardment” since the October 7 Hamas attack.
At least 30 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike that hit a residential building in Gaza, according to Palestinian media on Monday. The building was located in the al-Shuhada area of the Jabalia refugee camp. The report said the strike levelled the building to the ground and also destroyed a number of neighbouring houses.
Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry said 266 Palestinians, including 117 children, had been killed by Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours in the enclave.
Health authorities in Gaza said at least 4,600 people were killed in Israel’s two-week bombardment that began on October 7 after the Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise attack on southern Israeli communities in which 1,400 people were killed.
Israel has intensified bombings of the Gaza Strip overnight, with reports of air attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp and close to Gaza’s Al-Shifa and Al-Quds Hospitals.
In their attempt to completely seize the enclave, Israel has cut off fuel, water, food, thereby leaving Palestinians scrambling for survival.
