The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has said that Israel committed a “genocide” at Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camps under the slogan of “self-defence”.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemns the recent massacre committed by the occupation against our people in the Jabalia camp just a while ago,” it said in a post on X.

“According to initial statistics, it has led to 400 martyrs and wounded, including children and women in the camp, in documented scenes that are bloodcurdling,” the ministry added.
