Israeli strikes kill at least 30 in Gaza amid intensifying offensive

Since dawn, Israeli military strikes have claimed the lives of at least 30 Palestinians in central and southern Gaza, including children.

At least 11 people were killed in one of the strikes on central Gaza on Thursday, according to the territory’s civil defense spokesperson, who spoke to the AFP news agency.

According to spokesperson Mahmoud Basal, an Israeli airstrike hit a house north of az-Zawayda in the central Gaza Strip, killing 11 people and leaving many others dead or injured.

Numerous children were among the dead, according to emergency services, and bodies were transported to a nearby hospital.

In recent days, Israel has increased its offensive against the devasted Palestinian territory, forcing thousands of residents to leave their homes.

As Israel’s largest urban center is being retaken by the Strip, many people are flee Gaza City.

People who have been displaced must pay exorbitant fees for temporary housing and are unsure of where to find shelter.

“We have arrived in this remote area without any tents or amenities.” Water is not available to us. Because of how far away everyone else is from home, children can’t find food, said Gaza City resident Ahlam Aqel.

Ahmed Salama, who was forced to flee northern Gaza, also expressed concern for his future.

“We are going to the center of Gaza, but we aren’t sure where we’ll stay.” displaced people are residing in the al-Mawasi evacuation zone. No one can move there in a single space.

Gaza has been largely destroyed, and a UN-backed organization last month declared famine in some areas of the region.

Najia Abu Amsha, a Palestinian whose nephew was killed while waiting for aid, said on Wednesday, “We lost our children, our homes, and our places.” “We turned into beggars and sick.”
