Dozens killed and injured in strikes on northern Gaza, WAFA reports
Dozens of people, mostly women and children, were killed by Israeli air strikes on the north of the Gaza strip this morning, WAFA, the Palestinian news agency reported.
Warplanes bombed two houses in the northern Gaza Strip, killing at least 14 people and wounding others, the agency said, while “dozens” more were killed and injured in the bombing of a house in Jabalia refugee camp, it reported. Planes also targeted UNRWA-run al-Mazraa School in the central strip and houses in Rafah in the south, it added.
Israel also continued a siege on Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, it said, evacuating medical staff, patients and inhabitants to the hospital’s courtyard. 12 babies remain inside in incubators without food or water, according to the agency, while the southern part of the hospital has been destroyed as forces target “anyone who moves,” within it, the agency reported.
NBC News was not able to independently verify these reports.
