22 killed as Israeli strikes flour distribution line, residential area in Gaza

Israel has carried out air and drone operations throughout Gaza, killing at least 22 Palestinians, including women and children.

According to sources, a power outage threatens the lives of more than 100 patients at a hospital in the besieged territory’s north.

Three individuals were reportedly killed instantly in the most recent Israeli attack on Monday morning in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza when a missile fired from a drone struck them.

“The victims were trying to leave their home in search of food in the vicinity of their neighbourhood when they were targeted by a drone”, said source, reporting from central Deir el-Balah in Gaza.

“They were killed right away.

“Their bodies are still in the street and nobody has the ability to get to the bombed site and remove the bodies from the street”.

Many Palestinians are reportedly starving as a result of Israel’s 65-day siege of Jabalia.

This has prevented thousands of them from accessing food and water sources, as claimed.

“Jabalia has been turned into a graveyard”, source said.

Ten civilians were also killed overnight in the southern city of Rafah by an Israeli bombardment while they were waiting in line to purchase grain.

Reports state that scenes of hunger resembling those in northern Gaza were also occurring in the southern region.

Experts attributed this to the restricted flow of humanitarian aid across the southern border.

Following the most recent Israeli bombing on a residential structure in the Bureij refugee camp, dead were reportedly piled up at the medical facility’s morgue in central Gaza.

According to the report, the attack claimed the lives of at least nine members of one family.

The majority of them were women and children.

“The agony keeps on unfolding here at Al-Aqsa Hospital, where survivors and relatives showed up early this morning to collect the bodies from the morgue of the hospital”, it revealed.

“At some point, the morgue of the hospital was packed with the bodies and there was not enough room for more bodies”.

“Dangerous”

Hussam Abu Safia, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, stated that the interruption of oxygen, water, and electricity was putting the lives of over 100 patients in jeopardy.

According to Abu Safia, recent Israeli bombings and shelling have seriously damaged the hospital and cut off parts of its electrical and water supplies.

“The situation is extremely dangerous.

“We have patients in the intensive care unit and others awaiting surgeries.

“Access to the operating rooms is only possible after restoring electricity and oxygen supply”.

Abu Safia stated that there are currently 112 injured people at the hospital, including 14 youngsters and six in critical care.

He claimed that ongoing shelling close to the hospital was “preventing us from conducting repairs”.

Israel disclosed that it was conducting operations in the vicinity of the hospital in Beit Lahiya on Friday.

This is reported to be adjacent to the besieged Jabalia refugee camp.

Isreal also claimed that it had not fired directly on the building.

One of the only functioning medical facilities in the territory’s northern region is the hospital.

Four of its employees were murdered in an Israeli attack on Friday.

According to local health authorities, Israel’s offensive has killed around 44,700 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since the war began.

Women and children make up the majority of the deceased.
