Israeli air strike kills 31 Palestinians in Nuseirat refugee camp

Israeli forces fired artillery and and dropped bombs on several areas of the Gaza Strip overnight and on Sunday morning. 

An air strike around dawn on Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed at least 31 people, according to Wafa news agency. Several others were wounded.

Two Palestinian civilians were killed by Israeli shelling on homes in Khan Younis, while artillery fire also targeted eastern Rafah in the south.

Elsewhere, Israeli shelling targeted al-Awda hospital in Jabalia, northern Gaza. 

Rescue teams said on Sunday that over 300 homes had been destroyed by Israeli forces since a renewed ground offensive targeted Jabalia refugee camp earlier this week.

They said that many bodies and wounded people remained trapped under the rubble in the camp, due to an Israeli siege and non-stop attacks preventing emergency teams reaching them. 

The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza said that several wounded people succumbed to their injuries over the weekend due to a lack of equipment at the facility.
