Israeli strike kills 33 in Jabalia: Gaza civil defence agency
Gaza's civil defense agency has reported a devastating Israeli airstrike near Jabalia in the northern region of the territory, resulting in the deaths of at least 33 individuals at a Palestinian refugee camp overnight from Friday to Saturday. The assault targeted the Tal al-Zaatar camp, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian situation in the area.
Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal confirmed the grim toll, stating, "33 deaths and dozens of wounded." The strike has left the camp in chaos, with survivors frantically searching for loved ones amidst the rubble. A medical source at the Al-Awda hospital reported receiving 22 bodies and treating around 70 wounded individuals, highlighting the overwhelming pressure on local healthcare facilities that are already struggling to cope with ongoing conflict-related casualties.
Witnesses describe scenes of panic and despair as families were torn apart by the violence, many of whom had sought refuge in the camp from previous conflicts. The impact of the strike resonates far beyond the immediate loss of life; it deepens the existing humanitarian crisis, with essential services severely disrupted and many survivors left without shelter or basic necessities.
As international calls for a ceasefire grow louder, the toll of violence continues to mount, raising urgent questions about the future of civilians caught in the crossfire. The international community watches closely, hoping for a resolution that prioritizes the protection of innocent lives in this ongoing conflict.
