Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) – Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli air strikes on Sunday killed more than 30 Palestinians, including children at a water distribution point, as talks for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas stalled.
The civil defence agency said at least 31 people were killed in Israeli strikes overnight and into the morning.
Eight people were killed in strikes on houses in Gaza City, in the north, agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, 10 people were killed in a strike on a house, while 10 others including eight children were killed at a water distribution point, Bassal said.
“We woke up to the sound of two large explosions,” Khaled Rayyan told AFP after a house was flattened in Nuseirat. “Our neighbour and his children were under the rubble.”
Another resident, Mahmud al-Shami, called on the negotiators to secure an end to the war.
“What happened to us has never happened in the entire history of humanity,” he said. “Enough.”
In southern Gaza, three people were killed when Israeli jets hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in the coastal Al-Mawasi area, according to the civil defence spokesman.
What a disgrace. Israel should be taken to the ICC and held accountable.
Nitpick, ICC deals with individuals.
Israeli leaders should be dragged in front of the ICC. Israel should be hauled in front of the ICJ.
Reporters don’t have to choose, both tribunals are a short tram ride away from each other.
ah, thanks. I learnt something new!
