An Israeli strike has killed two young children in the tent where they were sheltering with their family, medical officials said, Al Jazeera reports.

The strike in al-Mawasi, a sprawling tent camp housing hundreds of thousands of displaced people, also wounded the children’s mother and their sibling, according to Nasser Hospital. An AP reporter at the hospital saw the bodies.

Palestinians displaced by the war are “increasingly forced to concentrate within the Israeli-designated zone in al-Mawasi”, an area of approximately 41sq km (15.83sq miles) lacking critical infrastructure and services, according to OCHA.
