AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): At least 90 Palestinians including women and children have been killed and more than 300 others wounded after Israel carried out air strikes on the al-Mawasi refugee camp near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
The Gaza Ministry of Health said that 90 people were killed in the genocidal Israel offensive, half of whom were women and children.
The ministry added that the number of injuries that resulted from this attack rose to 300.
The area where the atrocity was committed had been designated by the Israeli regime as a so-called “safe” zone.
According to witnesses, a series of airstrikes were conducted by Israel’s F16 warplanes that targeted a camp for displaced Palestinians west of the city with more than nine consecutive missiles.
“This was followed by quadcopter drones opening fire on ambulances and civil defense teams as soon as they arrived,” they said.
A woman who survived the Israeli targeting of the al-Mawasi area has described the attack and its aftermath.
“We were sitting in the tent, nothing was happening. Suddenly, a rocket fell on us,” the exasperated survivor said.
“I saw children in pieces,” she cried.
“God is all we need. Look at us, have some compassion!”
The attacks, which took place around 10:30 a.m., initially resulted in the killing of dozens of civilians who were subsequently transported to the Nasser Medical Complex, with over 100 others injured, some critically.
Rescue teams continue to retrieve dozens of casualties from the sites of the bombings.
Local health authorities warned that the region's hospitals are incapable of accommodating a large number of casualties because Gaza's healthcare infrastructure has been decimated by Israeli occupation forces.
Suhaib Al-Hams, head of the Kuwait field hospital, called the Mawasi attack "a real massacre".
He said there were many "severe injuries including amputations and lacerations of internal organs".
"A real disaster is happening now amid the collapse of the healthcare system," he added.
The massacre came on the 281st day of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza.
Israel's strikes have killed at least 38,345 people in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to data from Gaza's health ministry.
