Displaced people are arriving from Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, where heavy artillery shelling took place last night and in the early morning hours, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

There are reports of people having been killed and critically injured in raids across Gaza, mainly in Khan Younis, where fierce fighting between the Israeli military and the Al-Qassam Brigades is taking place under the cover of heavy aerial bombardment.

We don’t know the number of victims in Khan Younis, but there are reports of women and children being seriously injured and taken to Nasser hospital.

The result of the ongoing bombardment is that more people are becoming displaced. They are hungry and thirsty and queue all day long to get some water and bread.
