The Israeli army this morning again bombed the refugee camp in the Tal al Sultan neighborhood, located in the city of Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, killing at least seven people, according to Europa Press. The bombings come just 24 hours after another Israeli attack left at least 45 people dead, suffocated and burned by bombs that burned the tents in which they took refuge, in a massacre that shocked the world.
According to information from Anadolu news agencySeven Palestinians were killed when they were hit by a projectile that fell on their tents in the Tal al Sultan displaced persons camp, located northwest of Rafah, where thousands of people are seeking refuge from Israeli violence.
Israel also attacked a residential area and the city's Indonesian hospital last night. According to journalists from the Qatari channel Al Jazeera, patients and medical staff are trapped in the clinic and ambulances cannot reach the bombing area, where fire has broken out again.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has reported that some of its staff are “blocked in the patient stabilization center” of Tal al Sultan after a “night of incessant explosions in Rafah.” Martina Marchiò, medical coordinator for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, said “attacks took place throughout the night near the center of Tal al Sultan, where we spent all day yesterday treating the wounded” from the previous day's Israeli attack. “The workers who should have finished their shifts were not allowed to leave, while those who should have started work this morning had to give up because of the fighting,” said Marchiò, demanding from the organization “an immediate ceasefire .”
Rafah, where more than a million displaced people are overcrowded and have no sanitation or drinking water, remains the focus of Israel's offensive despite international condemnation and criticism. the order of the International Court of Justice, issued last Friday, for the “immediate” cessation of the operation in the said area.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the death of civilians in Monday's attack a “tragic accident” and assured that the military was investigating the matter.
