Gaza Health Ministry’s Director-General Munir al-Bursh has given Al Jazeera an update on the latest developments:

  • Israeli forces deliberately bomb civilians late at night so that no one could save them, al-Bursh said.
  • Yesterday, Israelis prevented the entry of a UN humanitarian convoy carrying medicines to Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
  • Almost 30 per cent of the victims of the Beit Lahiya massacre today are children.
  • There are between 20 and 30 people under the rubble in Beit Lahiya who cannot be reached.
  • More than 12,000 wounded people are in urgent need of treatment abroad, but Israeli forces are preventing them from travelling.
  • They deliberately target doctors, even while they are in their homes, to prevent them from providing their services.
