Explosives kill nine people at Gaza as combat rages – UN reports

Nine people died and many others were hurt in explosions at a UN building where refugees live in Khan Younis. This was reported by the UN agency that helps people in Gaza.

UNRWA reported that a college in the western part of the city was hit by two tank shells. Around 800 people were staying there for shelter.

Israel has not said anything about the explosions, but they mentioned that their soldiers were in the nearby area.

The soldiers have surrounded the city and told over 500,000 people to leave.

UNRWA director Thomas White said on Twitter that the center was hit during fighting and many people were seriously hurt.

He said to CNN that there were explosions at a building where carpentry work is done. This happened after two days of fighting near the center, when UN workers couldn’t reach the building.

We are always talking to the Israeli army, who have promised to keep people in safe places protected. “They are secure,” he said.

“People have died at or near these places in the past few days. ”

There is intense fighting in southern Gaza, including in a crowded refugee camp near the UNWRA training college in Khan Younis.

The Israeli military said its forces are in the western part of the camp and have started operating inside it.

It was said that they were moving around western Khan Younis as part of a plan to take apart Hamas’ military system.

“The operation will keep targeting the military sites, bases, buildings, and leadership centers in the area,” it stated, also mentioning that Hamas took advantage of the crowded area, including its shelters and hospitals.

The Gaza health ministry, run by Hamas, reported that over 200 Palestinians were killed in the last day in some of the most intense fighting during the Israeli campaign to get rid of Hamas.

Israel went into Gaza after Hamas attacked and killed many people in Israel.

There was strong fighting near hospitals in Khan Younis, including Al-Aqsa, Nasser and Al-Amal. Palestinians were trying to escape, according to OCHA, a UN agency in Gaza.

OCHA said that because of the ongoing bombings, nobody can go in or out of Nasser Hospital. The medics also said that staff at the hospital are digging graves there because they expect a lot of people to die.

On Tuesday, Israel’s army ordered people to leave part of Khan Younis, where 500,000 people live. Most of them are refugees from other parts of Gaza.

Many countries have asked Israel to stop bombing the area for several months.

The leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said again that Israel will keep fighting in Gaza until Hamas is removed from power and the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October are returned.
A person who was not in the military and was carrying a white flag was killed by being shot.

A person with a camera from the UK’s ITV News recorded a video of a Palestinian civilian getting killed on a street about 1. 7km (1 mile) south of the UNRWA shelter on Monday.

Five men were walking towards a dangerous area with a white flag. Then, there was a sudden gunfire and one of them got shot and fell to the ground. It was not clear who started shooting.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was asked in the British parliament if seeing those pictures would make him want to work towards stopping the fighting in Gaza.

He said: “Nobody wants this fight to continue any longer than it has to, and we want to see a quick and lasting break for helping people. ”

On Tuesday morning, a leader from Palestine who knows about the current discussions in Cairo told the BBC that Egyptian negotiators have suggested a new plan to Hamas to end the war.

The official wants to start a new plan with a temporary peace to help people in need, in return for letting Israeli civilians go free from Hamas.

One big issue is when Israeli soldiers will leave Gaza.

Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, says that Israel is purposely delaying aid at the Rafah border crossing into Gaza to make things harder for Hamas.

He said to a group of military and government officials that because Israeli inspections take a long time, only a third of the usual number of trucks carrying aid were able to go into the area.

Israel says inspections are needed to make sure no weapons get to Hamas.
