GAZA/ JABALIA: Over 50 more Palestinians have been killed in a series of Israeli air strikes in northern Gaza overnight, a local hospital says.
The Indonesian hospital reported that 32 children and 25 women were among the dead after a number of homes in Jabalia town and refugee camp were hit. A video shared online appeared to show at least a dozen bodies on the floor there.
The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports. It had warned residents of Jabalia and neighboring areas to evacuate on Tuesday night after a Palestinian armed group launched rockets into Israel.
It came as the UN’s humanitarian affairs chief urged members of the UN Security Council to take action to “prevent genocide” in Gaza.
Speaking at a meeting in New York on Tuesday, Tom Fletcher accused Israel of “deliberately and unashamedly imposing inhumane conditions on civilians”.
He called on Israel to lift its 10-week blockade on Gaza and criticized the Israeli-US plan to take over the distribution of humanitarian aid in the territory.
The Israeli ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, told the council that foreign aid was being used to help Hamas’s war effort.
Meanwhile, US Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Adam Boehler said they would travel to Qatar for fresh negotiations on a possible ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has threatened to expand its military offensive in Gaza this week unless Hamas agrees to release the 58 hostages it is still holding. (Int’l News Desk)
