Jerusalem (EFE).- An Israeli bombardment on a group of Gazans in the Al Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City (North of the Strip), left 11 dead, including nine children, according to the enclave’s Civil Defense and Palestinian media via Telegram.
Gazans have been surviving for over a month on the scarce humanitarian aid they have left after Israel decided to block the entry of trucks carrying food, medicine, and fuel into the enclave, claiming that Hamas did not want to release the hostages.
The Palestinian news agency Wafa also reported the killing of eight more people on Sunday afternoon after an air strike on the house in Deir al Balah, in the center of the enclave.
At least 43 Palestinians have been killed since early Sunday, according to Qatar-based Al Jazeera, one of the few media outlets still with reporters in the Strip since Israel’s closure to the foreign press.
The high death toll in the Palestinian enclave has been ed since Apr. 3, when the army shelled a school in the Gaza capital, home to thousands of displaced people, leaving at least 27 dead, including 18 children.
