Gaza: At least 11 Palestinians were wounded in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Monday, amid continued violations of the ceasefire in several areas.
According to local media reports, 10 civilians were injured when an Israeli drone struck the industrial area of Gaza City. Another Palestinian was wounded by Israeli gunfire at al-Amal displacement camp in the as-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza.
In southern Gaza, Israeli tanks opened heavy fire on central and southern parts of Khan Yunis. Israeli artillery also shelled the Batn al-Sameen area on the city’s southern outskirts. Heavy tank fire was reported in the eastern areas of Hamad City, north of Khan Yunis.
On Sunday, an Israeli drone strike killed two Palestinians, including a woman, and injured several others near the Tayba apartment buildings in western Khan Yunis.
In northern Gaza, four people, including one in critical condition, were injured when an Israeli drone struck a group of civilians in the Bir al-Naaja area of Jabalia on Sunday morning.
Meanwhile, a separate tragedy occurred in Deir al-Balah on Sunday evening, when a sand embankment collapsed onto tents sheltering displaced families. Five Palestinians, including a woman and three children, were killed, while six others were injured, some critically.
The incident followed heavy rainfall on Saturday, which flooded tens of thousands of displacement tents across Gaza, leaving many families without dry and safe shelter.
Gaza’s Civil Defense called on international organisations to take urgent action to protect displaced families. It urged the provision of safe shelters and called for tents to be moved away from sandy embankments, slopes and other areas at risk of collapse.
The latest incidents have further highlighted the difficult conditions facing displaced Palestinians, who continue to struggle with Israeli attacks, damaged infrastructure and severe weather conditions.
