Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Gaza rescue organisation, says it cannot reach the site of an attack on Beit Lahiya, north Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“The department received appeals from residents of a house bombed by the Israeli occupation in Beit Lahiya, but we cannot move to rescue them,” he said.

Two bombs hit a five-storey residential tower in the northern Gaza city, killing “tens” of people, according to medics.
