At least 40 Palestinians were killed and 60 wounded in what rescue workers have called one of the most horrendous attacks of the war in Gaza.
The overnight strike hit displaced civilians near a British field hospital at the entrance to Al Mawasi, according to the official Wafa news agency. While the area has been designated for months by the Israeli army as a “safe zone”, it has come under repeated attack.
Forty people were discovered dead within the first three hours of the rescue operation, Wafa reported, with Gaza’s civil defence describing the incident as “one of the most horrific massacres since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip”.
“Entire families have disappeared into the sand,” rescue workers said. They warned that they lack adequate equipment for the scale of the operation.
