Five women and four children said to be among dead with strike hitting residential building in crowded Nuseirat camp
At least 16 people have been killed in Israeli airstrikes across central Gaza on Sunday night and Monday morning, including five women and four children, Palestinian health officials have said.
Eleven months into the Gaza war, the death toll among Palestinians has passed 41,000, according to health authorities in the territory. Most of the dead are civilians and the total is nearly 2% of Gaza’s prewar population, or equal to one in every 50 people. The conflict was triggered by Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel, in which 1,200 people died and about 250 were taken hostage.

The Israeli military is investigating whether the fire near Kfar Daniel was the result of falling fragments caused by interceptor missiles launched at the projectile, or if the missile successfully penetrated its air defences, as theOn Monday, the Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said the group downed a US MQ-9 drone in Yemen’s Dhamar province.
