Gaza’s health ministry has told Al Jazeera that at least 55 people have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn.

Today’s most devastating attack, in which Israeli warplanes bombed Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, killed at least 23 people, Gaza’s Civil Defence is also reporting, up from the earlier death toll of 19 that we’ve been reporting.

Civil defence official Mohammad Al-Mughayyir told the AFP news agency that several people were missing and others had been wounded in the strikes.
