Gaza’s civil defence agency has said Israeli bombardment killed at least 29 people since midnight in the territory, which has been under Israeli aid blockade for nearly two months, AFP reports.

Civil defence official Mohammed al-Mughayyir said today’s toll included eight people killed in an air strike on the Abu Sahlul family home in Khan Younis refugee camp in southern Gaza.

Four people were killed in an air strike east of Shaaf in Gaza City’s Al-Tuffah neighbourhood, he told AFP.

At least 17 more were killed in other attacks across the Palestinian territory, including one that hit a tent sheltering displaced people near the central city of Deir el-Balah, the agency said.
