The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed two new massacres in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing 31 Palestinians and wounding dozens.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 17 Palestinians were killed, and 26 others were injured in an occupation massacre that targeted Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip, which the occupation classified as “safe humanitarian areas.”
This is the second massacre within a week, as the first one was committed by the IOF in Mawasi Khan Yunis, on Saturday, and resulted in the killing of 90 Palestinians and the injury of 300 others, in a series of raids targeting their tents and places of displacement.
Over the past months, the IOF has called on residents of different areas of the Gaza Strip to move to Al-Mawasi area, claiming that it is “humanitarian and safe.”
On Tuesday, 14 people were killed and others were injured in IOF bombing, which targeted UNRWA school housing displaced persons in the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
A medical source at Al Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said that 7 dead people arrived at the hospital as a result of the Israeli bombing.
7 others also arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah, according to hospital spokesman Khalil Al-Dakran.
While Al-Awda Hospital announced in a statement that it “received 48 wounded by an Israeli reconnaissance plane targeting a UNRWA school in Nuseirat.”
Eyewitnesses said that IOF reconnaissance aircraft targeted an UNRWA school housing hundreds of displaced people in the Nuseirat camp, causing fire in some parts of the school.
The witnesses added that the transfer of the dead and wounded is still ongoing, which means that the toll is not final and is likely to rise.
On Sunday, IOF bombed Abu Oreiban School in Nuseirat camp, which houses hundreds of displaced people, killing 15 Palestinians and wounding 80 others.
Since last October 7; The Israeli occupation forces have been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving tens of thousands dead and wounded, enormous humanitarian conditions, and a major health and environmental catastrophe, as a result of the destruction of vital facilities and the overflow of sewage in large areas.
Since the beginning of the war, the IOF cut off all supplies of electricity, water, fuel and food to the residents of the Gaza Strip, bombed bakeries, factories, stores, water stations and tanks, and destroyed the infrastructure.
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, as it exposes the lives and property of civilians to extreme danger and suffering, which requires urgent intervention by the international community to stop the aggression and protect civilians in the Gaza Strip.
