Israeli strikes hit Gaza as Health Ministry urges Rafah opening
Gaza's Health Ministry says dozens died awaiting treatment abroad as Israeli attacks continue despite a 'ceasefire'.
At least two people have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza, as the Ministry of Health in the strip calls for the Rafah crossing to be opened to allow sick and wounded Palestinians to leave for treatment.
Israeli attacks across Gaza continue at a “very high pace” on Thursday, with drone strikes hitting the centre and north of the territory over the past few hours, according to Al Jazeera’s Ashraf Abu Amra.
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Abu Amra said an Israeli drone fired two missiles in quick succession at a civilian car in the middle of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and wounding others.
On Thursday morning, four Palestinians were buried at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after being killed in an Israeli drone strike in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah, near the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings.
