Gaza’s interior ministry says an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in a refugee camp has killed at least 45 people and wounded dozens of others.
The Israeli military on Thursday bombarded the centre of the densely-populated Jabalia camp, ministry spokesperson Eyad Bozum said.
The building was packed with dozens of people who had fled heavy bombing from other parts of the Gaza Strip and taken refuge there.
Bozum said the death toll was likely to rise because civil defence workers were still pulling bodies from the rubble and counting the dead.
The Anadolu Agency said the victims included members from two families, identified as Shihab and Abu Hemdan.
“Medics transferred the bodies of 44 Palestinians to morgues after the Israeli attacks,” a source told Anadolu, adding that children and elders were among those killed.
