The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that at least 70 people, most of them women and children, were killed on Sunday as a result of an Israeli airstrike on the Maghazi Palestinian refugee camp.
The bombing destroyed at least three homes in the camp located in the middle of the Gaza Strip, with a reported initial toll of at least 45 people killed.
Ashraf Al-Qudra, Ministry of Health spokesman, said the target was a “crowded residential square,” and that the death toll was “likely to increase” due to the number of families who were in their homes at the time of the bombing.
The ministry also reported ten members of one family were also killed on Sunday in an Israeli raid on their home in the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian News Agency quoted medical sources saying an Israeli airstrike on Sunday night targeted a house in the Ma’an area, east of Khan Yunis, killing 11 people and wounding dozens.
The agency also reported a young man and his brother killed in the bombing of a house in the Al-Amal neighborhood, west of Khan Yunis.
Israeli forces destroyed main roads connecting camps in the central Gaza Strip to impede the arrival of ambulances and civil defense.
