Israeli attacks on Gaza have killed 44,708 as Israeli forces continue siege of Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Israeli air attacks in the Gaza Strip have killed at least five Palestinians in a camp for displaced people in Deir el-Balah.
The attack, which took place in the early hours of Sunday, killed five members of the same family, including children, as they slept.
“We woke up to a loud explosion in the middle of the night,” said Mahmoud Fayad, an eyewitness. “We ran to the loud screams and found many civilians killed; and entire family, man, wife and their children.”
Dozens of others were injured in the attack, according to Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud.
“Many people in the vicinity of the tent site were reported with various injuries,” said Mahmoud, reporting from Deir el-Balah. “The overnight attack highlights the vulnerability of displaced civilians inside these tents.”
