Five Palestinians, including a child, were killed and dozens were injured in an Israeli bombardment that targeted a bakery in the Al-Mawasi area, which includes displaced people west of Khan Yunis, southwest of the Gaza Strip, according to what Tel Aviv Tribune’s correspondent reported.
The correspondent added that Palestinian ambulance crews transported the bodies of the martyrs and a number of the injured to Nasser Medical Complex in the city.
Eyewitnesses said that the bombing targeted the bakery in an area classified by the Israeli occupation army as “safe.”
With the targeting of the bakery in Al-Mawasi, the number of martyrs killed in Israeli bombing of areas in the central and southern Gaza Strip since dawn has risen to 23, including 10 Palestinians who were killed in bombing that targeted a house in the Nuseirat camp, according to what medical sources told Tel Aviv Tribune.
During the past months, the occupation targeted the tents of the displaced in the Al-Mawasi area and shelters in various areas of the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of martyrs.
After Israel bombed their homes, threatened their residential areas and forced them to leave, the displaced Palestinians set up temporary camps in different areas of the Strip, where they live in difficult conditions due to the war.
These camps lack the most basic necessities of life, and represent a temporary refuge for many families who were displaced by the bombing.
Since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Palestinians have been facing repeated displacement, as the Israeli army orders residents of residential areas and neighborhoods to evacuate them in preparation for bombing, destroying, and penetrating them.
Two million displaced persons out of a total population of 2.3 million are forced, during their displacement, to seek refuge in schools or the homes of relatives or acquaintances, or to set up tents in the streets, schools or other places such as prisons and amusement parks, under difficult humanitarian conditions where there is no sufficient water or food, and diseases are spreading.
Since October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, with full American support, leaving more than 136,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and deadly famine.
In contempt of the international community, Israel continues this war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to stop it immediately, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide, and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
