Israeli Airstrikes Kill 36 Palestinians In Nuseirat Camp

A view of military action at a location given as Gaza

Two Israeli airstrikes in the Nuseirat camp overnight resulted in the tragic loss of 36 Palestinian lives, as reported by local health officials. The Israeli military has escalated its attacks on central Gaza, leading to devastating consequences.

Following the strikes, at least 25 bodies were taken to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, while another 11 were transported to the Al-Awda Hospital. The initial attack, occurring around 1 a.m., targeted a four-story home where a family had provided shelter to over 100 displaced individuals affected by the ongoing conflict.

The Civil Defense in Gaza revealed that four families and other displaced Palestinians in the vicinity were trapped under the rubble, with emergency workers tirelessly working to recover bodies from the debris. The challenging conditions, including a lack of fuel and equipment, have hindered rescue efforts, prompting an appeal for support from international organizations.

Amid the chaos, a second strike hit a school operated by the UN's agency for Palestine refugees in Nuseirat, approximately two hours after the initial attack. The impact of Israel's military campaign in Gaza has not only claimed lives but also disrupted essential services, including roads and critical supplies.

The Civil Defense spokesperson emphasized the urgent need for tools, bulldozers, and fuel to aid in the search and rescue operations. Meanwhile, efforts to reach the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for comment on the airstrikes are ongoing.
