Israeli strikes have killed more than 200 Palestinians across Gaza in the past three days as the army continues to target residential buildings, people gathering in the streets, markets and shelters.
Al Jazeera journalist Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said that while Israel claims it is targeting Hamas fighters, most of the victims are innocent people.
“We see that women and children make up the vast majority of victims,” he said.
Hospitals are overwhelmed by a steady stream of casualties, direct attacks on medical facilities and severe shortages of supplies as Israel imposes a tight siege on the territory.
At the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital in Deir el-Balah, many injured people die before they can be helped.
Israel’s the war in Gaza has now killed at least 45,805 Palestinians and wounded 109,064 as of October 7, 2023.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and about 250 were captured.
