Israeli forces have entered the outskirts of Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected growing calls for a cease-fire.
NUSEIRAT REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip — Strikes on the Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza killed and injured hundreds of people Tuesday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry and the director of Gaza’s Indonesian hospital. The breakdown of dead and wounded has yet to be determined amid ongoing rescue efforts. Footage from the scene streamed by Al Jazeera showed dozens of people digging through rubble to reach victims trapped underneath.
About 20 houses in the refugee camp were destroyed, Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defense emergency services, told The Washington Post. “We don’t have the equipment to work properly there,” he said. “It may need a week of work.” Previous Israeli strikes in response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack have hit buildings in the densely populated refugee camp, including a strike on Oct. 9 that left dozens dead.
