At least 40 people were killed and dozens of others injured in the Maghazi refugee camp, health officials said.
Israeli planes have struck a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens more, health officials said.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said more than 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in the territory in nearly a month of war, and that number is likely to rise as Israeli troops advance into dense urban neighbourhoods. “It was a true massacre,” he said early on Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance here.”
Large areas of residential neighbourhoods in northern Gaza have been levelled in air strikes. The UN office for humanitarian affairs says more than half the remaining residents, estimated at around 300,000, are sheltering in UN-run facilities, but Israeli strikes have also repeatedly hit and damaged those shelters.
The UN said about 1.5 million people in the Gaza Strip, or 70% of the population, have fled their homes. Food, water and the fuel needed for generators that power hospitals and other facilities are running out.
