Israeli airstrikes have destroyed apartment blocks and killed dozens of people at a refugee camp in northern Gaza on the 25th day of a conflict that theAt least six airstrikes hit residential areas in the Jabalia refugee camp on Gaza City’s outskirts on Tuesday, killing more than 50 people and injuring around 150,
The UN’s secretary general, António Guterres, reiterated his call for an immediate ceasefire and urged all sides to respect. He said: “I condemn the killing of civilians in Gaza and I am dismayed by reports that two-thirds of those who have been killed are women and children.” Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has ruled out a ceasefire and said the campaign to eradicate Hamas – which started the conflict on 7 October with a murderous onslaught in southern Israel that killed more than 1,400 people – could last months.
Since the attack by Hamas, Israel, citing concern that Hamas would siphon aid, has restricted supplies to a daily average of 14 trucks of food, water and medicine. The UN says 100 trucks are the bare minimum to sustain 2.3 million people. Before the conflict 400 to 500 trucks entered daily. The conflict has claimed the lives of 67 workers from the UN Palestinian refugee agency , complicating efforts to run 150 shelters that are overwhelmed with more than 670,000 displaced people. About 8,000 people are sheltering at – and clogging - a logistics base at Rafah. Even so the agency delivered hundreds of tonnes of flour to 50 Gaza bakeries, helping to lower bread prices.
