Within the past couple of hours, there was a clear intensification by Israeli bombardments across multiple areas, and in particular, again, evacuation centres are the target, Al Jazeera’s Tariq Abu Azzoum reports from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

The Israeli army has targeted an evacuation centre, a UN-run school in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. At least three Palestinians have been killed, while 15 others were wounded.

The reality sounds really grim on the ground as these attacks continued to destroy residential buildings, specifically in the southern part of Gaza, where more than 10 Palestinians from the same family have been killed in Khan Younis city after the house was completely reduced to the rubble.

But we have been also hearing loud explosions in Deir el-Balah town, where at least two Palestinians reported killed after being directly hit with a drone missile after they were just trying to get back to the houses.

The hospital right now is struggling to deal with the patients and even the wounded people who arrived at the hospital within the past couple of hours, as the medical situation is completely very dire and apocalyptic due to the fact that there is a very deep severe shortage of all kind of basic supplies.

The number of casualties might really accelerate and rise within the coming hours.
