Israel attacks portion of Gaza City filled with refugees

Ten people in a house in Rafah were killed in Israeli strikes in the last day, along with 125 other people.

The population of the southern Gaza city has grown to over a million people as people from other parts of Gaza come there to stay safe.

The IDF said they are checking the reports.

Missiles were also shot from Gaza into the southern part of Israel.

Samir Qeshta from Rafah said that his house was completely destroyed by Israeli bombing while he and his wife were not at home.

“This house kept me and my children safe and protected. ” “We are peaceful. They attacked us without warning,” he said.

Nimma al-Akhras was at her house when the bombing started.

“The strike was unexpected,” she says. “We were yelling and I couldn’t move until someone picked me up and placed me on a cart. ”

“What did we do that was not right. We were just sitting. ” It’s not safe at home or outside. “Where should we go. ”

The IDF stopped fighting in the city for a short time to help people in need after earlier attacks.

Israel is attacking the members and buildings of Hamas and is trying to prevent civilians from getting hurt.

On Telegram, the health ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said that the buildings and medical facilities in Rafah are not enough to help the around 1. 3 million people who had to leave their homes.

“Rafah is getting very crowded because a lot of Palestinian families who have been forced to leave their homes have been arriving in the area,” he said.

The doctors at Nasser hospital in the city said it is hard for them to help patients because the healthcare system is not working well.

“Dr Mohammad al-Qidra said that a lot of the important medical things in the ICU are not there. ” “We have no empty beds and can’t provide any treatment. ” Many of the medicines in the emergency room are not sufficient for the patients. We are looking for other options.

Many people who have nowhere to live are staying in the hospital.

Less than half of Gaza’s hospitals are working, and the ones that are working are only partially functioning, according to the World Health Organisation. There were not many ambulances working in the Gaza Strip, said the health ministry run by Hamas.

In the middle of Gaza, people said there were big fights with guns, tanks shooting, and attacks from Israeli planes in the Bureij, Nuseirat and Maghazi refugee camps – places with lots of buildings close together.

The Israeli army said they attacked some places and killed many fighters.

The IDF reported that they killed Hamas fighters in Khan Younis. Hamas said they fired at an IDF helicopter near the city.

A lot of Palestinians, mostly regular people, have been killed in Israel’s fight with Hamas in Gaza. The health ministry run by Hamas says 23,843 people have died.

Israel started its attack because many Hamas fighters went into southern Israeli towns from Gaza. They killed around 1,300 people and took about 240 others as hostages.
