Attacks reported from Jabalia in the north, Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis.
Israeli attacks have killed at least 20 Palestinians, including children, in Gaza on New Year’s Day, as makeshift shelters for displaced people across the Strip flooded after days of heavy rain.
The attacks were reported on Wednesday in Jabalia in northern Gaza, Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza and the southern city of Khan Younis.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said four children and one woman were among the dead. At least 10 other Palestinians were missing and believed to be under the rubble.
“Fifteen people were martyred and more than 20 were injured in a massacre after midnight in a house where displaced people were living in the town of Jabalia,” Gaza civil defence agency’s spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said.
A relative of some of the victims said the first responders were still searching for survivors. “The house has turned into a pile of debris,” said Jibri Abu Warda.
