Gaza Strip – November,2,2023
The camp witnessed a terrible massacre during the past hours, after Israel targeted it on
Tuesday and Wednesday, leaving, according to Palestinian media, more than 1,000 dead,
injured and missing in 24 hours in the camp crowded with women and children.
While the Israeli army confirmed launching an airstrike on the camp to eliminate a Hamas
leader, the militant movement denied this.
The war has entered its 27th day since the start of the "Al-Aqsa flood" operation, as the
Israeli army continues to bomb the Gaza Strip amid international fears of a widening conflict
in the Middle East.
In addition, the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood southwest of Gaza City is subjected to intense
and violent shelling from Israeli aircraft and tanks, while hundreds of rockets and rocket-
propelled grenades are falling on the neighborhood and there are victims and injured amid
the difficulty of moving ambulances due to the continuous Israeli shelling .
Also, the Israeli army continues to target the vicinity of the Al-Quds hospital in the Tel al-
Hawa neighborhood in the Gaza Strip, with violent and massive raids after several warnings
were issued to evacuate it immediately in preparation for bombing it.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement: "for more than two hours, the
vicinity of the Al-Quds hospital in the Tel al-Hawa area in Gaza has been witnessing violent
shelling, powerful explosions, a state of panic and terror experienced by the working staff,
patients and more than 14 thousand displaced people.
According to eyewitnesses from northern Gaza, the sounds of violent clashes and explosions
are still clearly heard on various axes of the place.
Also, the Karama neighborhood is witnessing huge Israeli raids interspersed with clashes
between Palestinian factions and Israeli forces penetrating there.
The death toll of the Israeli shelling on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has reached 9,061
dead, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women, in addition to 32 thousand injured
Palestinians, while more than 2,000 people are still missing under the rubble .
The Government Information Office reported that 16 hospitals and 32 health centers out of
52 primary care centers were out of service due to the shelling.
Since the ninth of October, the Palestinian Strip has been under a "complete blockade" from
Israel, including denial of water, food and electricity supplies, while the humanitarian
situation is taking on catastrophic proportions for the population of 2.4 million people.
The commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for refugees
(UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, entered the Gaza Strip on the sidelines of the evacuation, the
highest-level UN official to visit Gaza since the outbreak of the war. "I was shocked by the
fact that everyone here is asking for food and water," he told reporters, stressing that he
had never "at all" seen a situation like this after any conflict in Gaza.
