It’s been another bloody and horrific night for displaced Palestinians coming from across the Gaza Strip, from the north and central Gaza into the southern part, finding themselves the victims of unpredictable bombs falling, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

Bureij refugee camp once again became the site of massive, relentless air bombardment.

In the early hours of this morning, a residential home in central Rafah — a very busy area full of displaced Palestinians — was destroyed. The family inside that home was killed. Seven more members are still under the rubble; there’s a growing fear they might have died. It’s becoming very difficult to remove the rubble, large pieces of concrete to see who may have survived.

The concentration of the air bombardment and artillery shelling is concentrated in the central part [of the enclave] which feeds into the ongoing narrative and into Israeli efforts of making the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable for its own people.
