Additionally, there are reports of people possibly trapped under the rubble. Other UN organizations identified the destroyed houses as belonging to the Qandil, Abu Ahed, Abu Hamida, Abu Rahma, Si-Salem, and al-Nawasra families.

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) stated that a hospital in Deir al-Balah treated 209 injured and 131 deceased individuals following the bombings in Maghazi and the adjacent Bureij refugee camp on Sunday night.

Photographic evidence from the scene showed significant damage, including at least one completely destroyed building and four others severely affected.

Maghazi, located in the heart of Gaza, is a smaller refugee camp known for its narrow alleys and high population density.
