More foreign nationals are preparing to leave the besieged Gaza Strip as the enclave’s government said at least 195 Palestinians died in Israel’s attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp, Reuters reports.

Hamas media office said that at least 195 Palestinians were killed in the two Israeli attacks on Jabalia on Wednesday, with 120 still missing under the rubble. At least 777 more were wounded, it said in a statement.

“Given the high number of civilian casualties & the scale of destruction following Israeli air strikes on Jabalia refugee camp, we have serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes,” the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights wrote on social media site X.
