Israel’s air attack on a tent camp housing Palestinians in Gaza has resulted in a tragic loss of life. At least 40 people were killed and 60 others were wounded in the deadly strike on al-Mawasi, a designated humanitarian zone for civilians seeking shelter. Rescuers are still searching for survivors, with entire families reportedly killed in their tents. The Palestinian Civil Defence has recovered 40 bodies so far, while Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received about two dozen casualties. The Israeli military claimed the attack targeted Hamas forces in a command-and-control center, but the Palestinian group denies any presence in the area.
This attack comes amidst ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has led to widespread destruction and displacement of the population. Israeli evacuation orders have forced hundreds of thousands of people into crowded tent camps like al-Mawasi, where aid groups struggle to provide basic services. Despite being designated as a humanitarian zone, the area has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli airstrikes. The tragic consequences of this latest attack highlight the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza and the protection of civilian lives.
