New wave of Israeli attacks in Gaza’s Jabalia kills eight
GAZA – We are receiving reports of a new wave of Israeli air strikes hitting a residential house in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp. Medical sources said at least eight Palestinians were killed in the attack, bringing to 30 the death toll from today’s attacks across the Strip.
The refugee camp has been targeted with renewed intensity for more than a week as Israeli forces have imposed a siege on the site with no food or medical supplies being allowed in. Thousands of people are trapped inside the refugee camp too scared to leave. According to an Al Jazeera correspondent and Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initals MSF, Israeli snipers have been killing people trying to flee despite issuing evacuation. Other residents have decided to stay as the designated “humanitarian safe zones” have also been attacked. MSF reported on Friday that members of its staff were also trapped in the camp for fear of being shot while Israeli forces were turning northern Gaza into “uninhabitable ruins”. (Aljazeera)…[+]
