The Red Cross says it has had to activate its mass-casualty procedure at its field hospital in Rafah, southern Gaza, 12 times over the last two weeks, Al Jazeera reports.

The organisation said it received 933 medical cases, including 41 people declared dead on arrival. The toll is “higher than all mass casualty incidents over the 12 months prior combined”.

“An overwhelming majority of patients from the recent incidents said they had been trying to reach assistance distribution sites”.
