Dozens of victims of an Israeli strike on a residence where displaced people were sheltering in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah area are being transferred to the nearby Al-Aqsa Hospital, Al Jazeera reports.

Dr Khalil al-Degran said the medical facility has received “many dead and injured, most of whom were women and children”.

“We expect to receive many more by the ambulances that are still at the site,” he told Al Jazeera.

“We are not equipped to receive such large numbers of victims,” he said, adding that the strike was part of Israel’s “genocide against our people”.
