Al-Mawasi, a shelter for displaced Palestinians, has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli military strikes, resulting in over 50 deaths and numerous injuries.
Israeli warplanes launched an attack on al-Mawasi, a safe zone designated by the Israeli military, causing devastation and casualties. Children, paramedics, and displaced Palestinians were among the victims rescued from the rubble.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent described the incident as a “new massacre” with multiple bombs and missiles hitting the area. The injured were rushed to hospitals for treatment, highlighting the severity of the situation.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health confirmed the death toll and the overwhelming number of wounded brought to hospitals. Rescue efforts by civil defence teams were hindered by subsequent bombings.
While the Israeli military has not officially commented, reports suggest a senior Hamas official may have been targeted. This incident follows a pattern of attacks on areas housing displaced Palestinians, raising concerns about civilian casualties.
The repeated targeting of al-Mawasi reflects the ongoing conflict in Gaza, with thousands of Palestinians displaced and facing grave dangers from military strikes. The international community must address the humanitarian crisis and work towards a peaceful resolution.
