Five Palestinians killed in northern Gaza
Gaza Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qidra says five Palestinians were recently killed, including a woman and child, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun.
The UNRWA spokesperson says that over 47,000 Palestinians have been displaced in the Gaza Strip, a figure which has doubled in the past day. They have taken refuge in the UN refugee agency’s shelters and schools.
