Cats eat Palestinian corpses in Gaza amid devastating Israeli onslaught

Cats were seen eating the corpses of Palestinians in central Gaza amid a devastating Israeli incursion that has killed scores and blocked rescue workers from assisting victims. 

Footage posted on Sunday by local video creator Talal Mahmoud showed cats eating from bodies of Palestinians strewn on the streets near a UN-run school in the Nuseirat refugee camp. 

Ambulances and first responders had been unable to reach many areas under attack due to the heavy Israeli bombardment in recent days. 

The Gaza-based government media office on Monday condemned the “horrific war crimes” committed by Israeli forces in its latest ground assault on the Nuseirat camp, which local media said began on the weekend. 

The media office said 17 tanks and other military vehicles stormed the camp under the cover of drones and air strikes.
