MSF says ‘no body allowed to get in or out’ in Jabalia as Israeli strikes across enclave kill dozens of Palestinians.
The Israeli military has launched deadly attacks across the Gaza Strip, including Deir el-Balah, Maghazi and Nuseirat refugee camps, Gaza City and Jabalia refugee camp, where MSF said thousands of people are trapped.
The Israeli attacks killed at least 41 people across Gaza on Friday, Palestinian medics said, with nearly half of the fatalities occurring in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, where Israeli forces are pressing ahead with a brutal ground offensive.
Six people were killed in a strike on a residential home that belonged to the al-Dayah family on Friday evening, southwest of Gaza City, civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said.
Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, said the continuing attacks have “all fed into one conclusion: mass killing going on for the sake of killing without a clear objective”.
“When we look at the deaths arriving at the hospital in Deir el-Balah, it is the same pattern with women and children making up the majority of them,” Mahmoud said.
