Health Ministry says 25 children were killed in the Israeli attack on a residential building in northern Gaza.
Rescuers pulled bodies from the rubble in Beit Lahiya and dozens of people were missing after the Israeli military bombed a residential building, killing at least 93 people, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza.
Bodies wrapped in shrouds lay in rows as mourners gathered on Tuesday. Gaza’s Ministry of Health said at least 25 children were among the dead.
An estimated 40 people were missing under the debris, the civil defence said of the attack in northern Gaza.
Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal, who confirmed the number of dead and missing, described the complete destruction of a five-storey home, adding that the area lacked medical facilities to treat the wounded.
One witness, 30-year-old Rabie al-Shandagly, said, “People are trying to save the injured, but there are no hospitals or proper medical care.”
