Israeli forces have killed at least 50 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip in the past day, according to medics.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli forces pounded the Palestinian territory on Thursday, killing at least 12 people including three girls, 15 months into the war.
Three girls and their father were killed when an air strike hit their house in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the civil defence agency reported.
Local paramedic Mahmoud Awad said he helped transfer the bodies of two girls and their father, Mahmoud Abu Kharuf to a hospital.
This comes as Gaza grapples with a severe fuel shortage that authorities warn could lead to the shutdown of additional hospitals.
The United Nations has reported that Gaza’s fuel reserves are entirely depleted, leaving hospitals unable to operate electricity generators, which places the lives of patients and newborns at “grave risk.”
Meanwhile, the Israeli military said Wednesday that its troops recovered the body of Palestinian Bedouin citzen of Israel Youssef al-Zayadn aand brought it back to Israel following a “complex and difficult operation”.
