‘Mostly children and disabled people’ - 36 killed in Israeli strike on crowded building sheltering displaced in Gaza

Relatives of the Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks on the Abu Lahya family’s house mourn as their bodies are brought to the European Hospital for burial in Khan Younis, Gaza, on Sunday.

Israeli forces have killed at least 36 people, mostly children and disabled people, in a single strike on a residential building in northern Jabalia, local media reported.

On Sunday, the Israeli attack came as the people of Gaza marked 400 days of war. The victims included 15 children.

The house was full of women and children who had been displaced from different parts of northern Gaza and had ended up in this particular building.

The strike came with no warning and only hit civilians, cutting them to pieces.

“We now have a confirmed report that everybody in that house was killed. The last few remains were removed from under the rubble in the past couple of hours,” Al Jazeera reported.

Medical staff at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza to call for urgent humanitarian assistance.

Al-Awda Hospital stated, "Despite the danger in the targeted areas, our ambulance teams managed to evacuate several injured individuals."

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) said that Israel’s attack on Jabalia killed 24 members of the family of its researcher, Mohammed Aloush.

“These innocent civilians were killed while they were sleeping and suffering from starvation,” the rights group said.

It added that the victims included “14 children and 6 women, some of whom suffer from disabilities.”

“This is the story of every hour in Gaza as a number of Western governments continue their complicity in the ongoing genocide by supplying Israel with arms instead of pressuring it to implement an immediate ceasefire,” PCHR added in a statement on X.

In the northwest of Gaza City, Israeli quadcopters opened fire on Palestinians in the al-Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, killing many Palestinians and injuring several others.

The Israeli regime's genocidal war on Gaza, which began on October 7, 2023, has killed at least 43,600 Palestinians, injured another 102,700, and displaced almost 2.2 million people.
