At least 30 killed, including 13 children, in Israeli strike on a house in Jabalia as siege of Gaza’s north continues.
At least 30 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 children, after Israel bombed a building housing displaced people in the Jabalia refugee camp, as the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) warned of “famine” in northern Gaza” after more than a month of bombardment and military siege.
The bombing of the Alloush family home, which was packed with residents and displaced people, resulted in “the complete destruction” of the building, the Wafa news agency reported on Sunday. The wounded are being transferred to the Baptist Hospital, it added.
Witnesses said the multistorey building was destroyed in the attack, with many still trapped under the rubble.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, said the attack happened at about 6am local time on Sunday.
“According to an eyewitness, it was pretty quiet apart from the buzz of drones and quadcopters and the fighter jets that were manoeuvring in the area. All of a sudden, without any prior warning, the house was bombed,” he said.
