Israeli attacks have killed more than 200 Palestinians across Gaza over the past three days as the army continues to hit residential buildings, people gathered in the streets, markets and shelters.
Tel Aviv Tribune’s Hani Mahmoud, speaking from Deir el-Balah, said that although Israel claims to target Hamas fighters, most of the victims are innocent people.
“It is women and children who constitute the vast majority of victims,” he said.
Hospitals are overwhelmed by the constant flow of casualties, direct attacks on medical facilities and severe shortages of supplies as Israel imposes a strict siege on the territory.
At the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, many injured people die before they can be treated.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,805 Palestinians and injured 109,064 since October 7, 2023.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel in attacks carried out by Hamas that day and around 250 were captured.
