The Israeli military also targeted multiple locations, including the Jabalia Camp, main Gaza city and Khan Yunis.
An attack on a residential building in Jabalia also left 15 people martyred and more than 20 injured.
Displaced Palestinians are facing dire conditions as heavy rain and flooding led to water accumulation in their tents. The over 2 million Palestinians in the Gaza enclave also are brink of mass starvation, with lack of access to clean drinking water, food shortages and lack of medical facilities.
Israeli military last week attacked the last working medical health facility, and setting fire to several rooms. Patients and medical staff were forced to evacuate, with international community, including the UN lambasting Israel for destroying the last functioning facility in the sieged enclave.
Israel has also been targeting schools and refugee camps, claiming to be targeting Hamas. It has committed one war crime after another, killing medics, children and other innocent people.
According to the Palestinian Bureau of Statistics, Gaza’s population had decreased by 6 per cent since the onset of the war, with almost 100,000 Palestinians having fled the region.
The bureau estimated that the death toll could reach as high as 55,000. This will contribute to a population decline of 160,000 in a territory that previously had a population of 2.1 million.
