At least 40 civilians were killed and others were injured, mostly children and women, in the Israeli occupation’s bombardment of the tents of displaced people northwest of the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Government Media Office in Gaza, more than 30 displaced Palestinians have been killed and dozens of others injured in the Zionist regime’s bombings of more than 10 displacement centers set up by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in a statement that Israeli strikes “claimed the lives of 35 martyrs and left dozens injured, most of them children and women.”
“The Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crews are transporting a large number of martyrs and injured individuals following the occupation’s targeting of the displaced persons’ tents near the United Nations headquarters northwest of Rafah,” the Red Crescent said in a post on X social media platform.
It added that “this location was designated by the Israeli occupation forces as a humanitarian area.”
Gaza’s Government Media Office also confirmed that Israeli warplanes targeted areas, which the regime itself had already identified as “safe” in Rafah.
“The occupation has committed a horrific massacre by deliberately bombing the displacement center shelters northwest of Rafah.… This massacre is a message to the international community that the Holocaust against the Palestinians continues and that the massacres against the displaced [people] continue,” the media office added in its statement.
