More than 30 people, many members of same family, were killed in the Israeli strike on a Palestinian shelter.
Palestinian authorities have said that at least 33 people were killed in an Israeli strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, as Israel continues to conduct devastating attacks across the strip.
The Government Media Office in Gaza called the Thursday attack a “barbaric and heinous massacre”, noting that most of those killed hailed from the al-Sheikh Ali family.
“The [Israeli] occupation army knew that this is a residential block with many apartment buildings housing dozens of civilians, children, women and displaced people,” the office said.
Medics told the news agency Reuters that Israeli fire struck a postal office in Nuseirat sheltering displaced Palestinian families, as well as nearby houses.
Photographs from the scene show young children coated with dust and blood in the rubble of a collapsed building. Reuters reported that about 50 people were wounded in the deadly strike, in addition to the 30 or more dead.
