Israel has killed 39 people and injured 105 in Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.
More Palestinians have succumbed to their burn wounds after an Israeli strike hit their shelter in Gaza City overnight, raising the death toll there to at least 13, with reports of six people remaining under the rubble.
The school-turned-shelter was one of several sites hit in Gaza on Wednesday. Gaza’s civil defence said four more bodies were pulled from two nearby homes.
Rescue teams know at least six more victims remain trapped beneath the rubble in Gaza City, but they are unable to reach them, reported Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud from the city.
“It’s not just their inability to get to the area,” he said. “They lack the heavy equipment needed to remove the rubble and recover the bodies.”
