Dozens of displaced Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza shelters
Mass casualty events have been reported from the north to the south of the enclave as the US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians continues to gain speed
At least 36 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since dawn on 16 November in several mass-casualty events targeting UN-run humanitarian shelters and other locations across the besieged enclave.
The death toll includes 10 killed at the UN-operated Abu Assi School in the Shati refugee camp in central Gaza City following an attack that left at least 20 others wounded.
According to Gaza's health ministry, many other victims are still trapped under the rubble of buildings and on the side of the roads, as the Israeli army is preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.
Israeli artillery shelling also killed several in Beit Lahia, north Gaza, after tanks opened fire on a gathering of civilians in the Aslan neighborhood.
Five others were killed and many more injured when the invading army bombed a barbershop in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City.
Israeli massacres have also continued in south Gaza. On Saturday, local sources reported that Israeli airstrikes hit the southern part of Khan Yunis, including targeting a house in the Qizan al-Najjar area that killed at least one and injured several others.
In Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah, the Israeli army blew up residential buildings in the west of the city and bombed a gathering of civilians in the airport area east of the city.
The US-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has killed at least 43,799 Palestinians and injured 103,601 since 7 October 2023.
On Friday, the UN revealed that about 100,000 Palestinians were violently displaced from the north of the enclave within 24 hours.
Israel is currently implementing the so-called Generals' Plan in north Gaza, forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands from their homes while starving or killing anyone who remains.
Earlier this week, retired British surgeon Nizam Mamode provided testimony to UK members of parliament from the parliamentary International Development Committee about the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
He said at least once or twice daily for the past year, there have been "mass casualty incidents," meaning that 10 to 20 people were killed and up to 40 seriously injured.
"Drones would come down and pick off civilians, children," Mamode told the MPs. "This is not an occasional thing. This was day after day after day operating on children who would say, ‘I was lying on the ground after a bomb dropped, and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me.’"
