Displaced Palestinian families in Gaza face deadly attacks and worsening tent-camp conditions
A What happened
Israeli attacks across Gaza killed at least 14 Palestinians on Thursday, including five children, according to medical sources. An attack on tents for displaced people in al-Mawasi in southern Gaza killed at least four Palestinians, and a strike in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood killed four people. Israeli fire killed 11-year-old Hamsa Housou in Jabalia, and her uncle Khamis Housou described finding her bleeding. Hundreds of thousands of displaced families are sheltering in makeshift tent camps, and MSF said people were suffering respiratory infections, wound complications, and skin diseases while Israel continued to block or delay entry of vital supplies.
