Palestinians decry ‘barbaric’ Israel strike on Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp
Al JazeeraAt least 36 people, many members of same family, were killed in the Israeli strike on a Palestinian shelter. Palestinian authorities have said that at least 36 people were killed in an Israeli strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, as Israel continues to conduct devastating attacks across the strip. As of October 2024, the one-year anniversary of the war, Israeli strikes had completely wiped out at least 902 entire families in the Strip, according to the Government Media Office in Gaza. Thursday’s attack on Nuseirat struck a largely residential area in one of Gaza’s eight historic refugee camps, established in 1948 after the forced expulsion of Palestinians from nearby areas, often called the Nakba or “catastrophe”. “This latest crime coincides with the Israeli occupation’s plan to topple the health system in the Gaza Strip, exerting massive pressure on medical teams,” the media office said.
