520 people killed, injured, missing in central Gaza within week

An Israeli army offensive in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza has resulted in 520 killed, injured and missing people within a week, the Palestinian government media office said, TRT World reports.

Following the army’s withdrawal from the camp after an eight-day attack, the office said “the Israeli occupation army committed a crime against humanity and against international law in the areas of Maghazi, Zahra and the New Camp north of Nuseirat.”

“The toll reached 520 martyrs, injured and missing and more than 13,000 housing units demolished within one week,” it added.

The local media said “this comes within the framework of the genocide being waged by the Israeli army against Palestinian civilians, which the US administration supports and participates in.”

The office pointed out that the Israeli army “destroyed 14 towers, residential buildings and dozens of homes belonging to citizens, displacing them from their towers, residential buildings, and homes under the threat of aircraft bombing and tank shells.”
