Four children among those killed in latest attack on Rafah

It was an extremely bloody night in Rafah.

A residential building was destroyed. At least six Palestinians have been reported killed, including four children.

The attack was carried out after midnight, without any prior warning. It was close to the house I’m sheltering in, in the north of Rafah. The entire area felt the shaking of the bombardment. Those who have been injured have been transported by ambulance to the Kuwaiti Hospital.

Other areas of Gaza have been widely attacked as well, including the Bureij refugee camp, where nine Palestinians have been reported injured. There is also ongoing artillery bombardment of the southeastern part of Gaza City, including the Zeitoun neighbourhood. Eyewitnesses there say constant shelling is targeting residential homes and farmland.

Amid the ongoing bombardment, the humanitarian situation has not significantly changed. Within the past 24 hours, only 212 aid trucks have been allowed into the territory from the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings, which is not sufficient to meet the immense needs of Gaza’s population.
