Medical staff in Gaza say a barrage of airstrikes killed at least 32 people across Gaza City yesterday, as Israel ramps up its offensive there and urges Palestinians to evacuate.
The dead reportedly included 12 children, according to the morgue in Shifa Hospital, where the bodies were brought. The figures could not be verified.
The IDF in recent days has intensified strikes across Gaza City, destroying multiple high-rise buildings it says were used by Hamas.
On Saturday, the army said it struck another high-rise used by Hamas in the area of Gaza City. It has ordered residents to leave ahead of its offensive aimed at taking over Gaza’s largest city, which it says is Hamas’s last stronghold. Hundreds of thousands of people remain there, though the IDF says some 280,000 have left.
Hamas-affiliated health officials say one of the strikes overnight and into early morning Saturday hit a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, killing a family of 10, including a mother and her three children. The Palestinian Football Association says a player for the Al-Helal Sporting Club, Mohammed Ramez Sultan, was killed in the strikes with 14 members of his family. Images show the strikes hitting, followed by plumes of smoke.
The IDF does not immediately respond to questions about the strikes.
Gaza’s Hamas-run Health Ministry also says Saturday that seven people, including children, died from malnutrition-related causes over the previous 24 hours, raising the toll to 420, including 145 children, since the war began.
