An Israeli airstrike on the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has killed 30 Palestinians, including 14 women and 12 children, in one of the deadliest attacks in recent weeks. Entire homes in the New Camp area were levelled, leaving survivors scrambling through rubble as medics described receiving bodies torn apart by the force of the blast.

The victims, among them members of the Nabhan, Siyam, and Ataya families, are the latest casualties of a war that has now stretched into its 662nd day. Since October 2023, more than 203,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed or injured. Thousands remain missing, while hundreds of thousands are displaced amid famine and disease.

Further strikes hit Gaza City, killing two more civilians and devastating residential areas in Shuja’iyya and Al-Tuffah. Despite international pleas and rulings by the International Court of Justice demanding an end to the assault, Israel continues its bombardment with unwavering US backing, leaving Gaza’s population trapped under relentless fire, hunger, and ruin.
