Palestinian civil defence crews in Gaza have carried out 23 missions in the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports citing the daily report issued by the General Directorate of Civil Defence.

The operations included two rescue missions, 15 ambulance transfers and six other missions.

In the northern part of Gaza, two patients were transferred from Sheikh Radwan to medical facilities, and a seriously injured person was taken to the Palestinian Red Crescent Hospital.

Near Gaza City, one patient was moved from the Amir Al-Mansi School, which shelters displaced people, to al-Shifa Hospital.

Civil Defence teams in central Gaza dealt with an injury after an Israeli air strike on the Abu Owaimer family home in Nuseirat and transported a patient from her home to al-Awda Hospital.

In Khan Younis, crews recovered a body from near a UNRWA facility and treated multiple injuries.
