GAZA, November 17, 2024 (WAFA) – Israeli warplanes targeted two homes in the al-Bureij and al-Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza early this morning, killing at least seven Palestinians and leaving several others injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with some individuals still trapped under the rubble.

According to medical sources, the first attack hit a home belonging to the al-Masri family in al-Bureij camp, killing three people and injuring several others. Several individuals are still missing under the debris following the attack, and rescue teams are working under difficult conditions to locate survivors.

In a separate attack, Israeli airstrikes targeted a home belonging to the al-Rumana family in Nuseirat refugee camp, killing at least four people and injuring others.

Local medical teams have been struggling to provide immediate care as hospitals in the region are overwhelmed with casualties from the continuing Israeli aggression across Gaza.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 43,799 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 103,601 others injured.

Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
