Islam Times - Israeli Strike Kills 10 Palestinians Waiting in Line for Flour in Southern Gaza

Islam Times - An Israeli attack on the southern city of Rafah killed 10 Palestinians who were waiting in line to buy flour amid growing hunger and limited aid deliveries, local sources reported on Monday.

At least 22 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed in Israeli air and drone attacks across Gaza on Monday, as power outages in northern Gaza threatened the lives of over 100 hospital patients.

In one of the latest attacks, three people in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza were killed by a missile launched from an Israeli drone, sources told Al Jazeera.

“(The victims) were trying to leave their home in search of food in the vicinity of their neighborhood when they were targeted by a drone,” said Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from central Deir el-Balah in Gaza.

“They were killed right away. Their bodies are still in the street and nobody has the ability to get to the bombed site and remove the bodies from the street.”

Jabalia has been under Israeli siege for 65 days, leaving thousands of Palestinians without access to food or water.

“Jabalia has been turned into a graveyard,” Mahmoud added.

Mahmoud said limited deliveries of humanitarian aid through Gaza’s southern border have led to scenes of hunger similar to those in the north.

In central Gaza, near Al-Aqsa Hospital, the morgue has been overwhelmed following an Israeli bombing of a residential building in the Bureij refugee camp.

At least nine members of one family, including women and children, were killed in the attack, Mahmoud reported.

“The agony keeps on unfolding here at Al-Aqsa Hospital, where survivors and relatives showed up early this morning to collect the bodies from the morgue of the hospital,” he said.

“At some point, the morgue of the hospital was packed with the bodies and there was not enough room for more bodies.”

According to local health authorities, Israel's ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip has killed over 44,700 Palestinians since it began.

The majority of the dead are reported to be women and children.
