Dozens of Palestinians are still trapped under the rubble in the two northern areas targeted overnight, Sheikh Radwan and Beit Lahiya, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports.

“There are no Civil Defence crew or paramedics working in Beit Lahiya, adding to the misery there,” she reports.

According to Khoudary, those who have reached hospitals in the north are not able to get adequate treatment. “The hospitals are only operating as first-aid hospitals because they lack medical supplies and do not have intensive care units,” she adds.

“In the middle area, where we are right now, there has been intensive artillery shelling. We can hear this in the background,” Khoudary reports.
