At least 29 people killed in attacks on a residential area in Rafah in southern Gaza and 13 at refugee camp in north.
Dozens of people have been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Rafah district in the far south of the Gaza Strip, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought refuge from Israel’s bombardment in northern Gaza.
At least 29 people were killed in air strikes on residential buildings on Tuesday.
Israel previously ordered Palestinians to evacuate to southern Gaza as it pounded the north in the first weeks of its assault on the besieged territory, but the military has since expanded its offensive to the south, leaving no safe places for civilians.
At least 13 Palestinians were also killed and many others injured in an Israeli air raid on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in the enclave said.
Al Jazeera Arabic’s Anas al-Sharif said the scale of the destruction was “massive”.
