According to Gaza’s health ministry, 45 people have been killed and at least 50 others wounded by an Israeli air strike in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. An unknown number of dead remain buried under the rubble.
The bombing happened on Tuesday afternoon and struck the Abu Musbih building. 150 people were inside the building at the time of the attack. Most of these people were displaced families from different parts of Gaza.
“We have received 45 martyrs from the Israeli bombing on the houses of three families in Deir al-Balah in the past hour,” Dr. Eyad al-Jabri, head of Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah told Reuters.
