2 Palestinians killed in Gaza area where they were told to shelter — aid group

The aid group Doctors Without Borders says two people were killed when building housing staff in the Gaza Strip was struck during an Israeli operation in an area where Palestinians have been told to seek shelter.

“While details are still emerging, ambulance crews have now reached the site, where at least two family members of our colleagues have been killed and six people wounded. We are horrified by what has taken place,” the group says in a post on X.

The attack took place in Muwasi, a sandy, mostly undeveloped strip of land along the coast that has been transformed into a sprawling tent camp with little in the way of basic services.

Doctors Without Borders, known by the French acronym MSF, does not identify the source of the fire. The Israeli military says it is looking into the reports.
