Dozens of martyrs after a Zionist raid on a camp for displaced people in Al-Mawasi

Baghdad-INA
Palestinians rushed to retrieve the bodies of dozens of martyrs who fell in a Zionist strike in Al-Mawasi, which the entity had declared a “humanitarian zone” during an operation in Rafah near the Egyptian border, where “body parts were scattered everywhere.”
Amid sirens wailing and women crying, rescuers worked to pull children from the rubble and transport them to nearby hospitals after an airstrike on a camp for displaced people.
“What did we do? We were sitting on the beach,” cried a Palestinian woman who was carried out of the area, crying.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in a statement that 90 martyrs had been killed, “half of them women and children,” in addition to 300 wounded in a Zionist strike that targeted the Al-Mawasi camp for displaced persons in the southern Gaza Strip, describing it as a “heinous massacre committed by the occupation.”
The area was home to hundreds of thousands of displaced people, according to the UK-based Medical Aid for Palestinians, which operates medical centres in the region.
“For months we have been warning that there is no safe place in Gaza amid the occupation army’s bombing,” the organization said in a statement.
Black smoke rose above an ash-covered street in Al Mawasi, where bodies could be seen lying in pools of blood, some of them covered.
With difficulty, men worked to transfer the injured to ambulances.
Louise Waterridge, a spokeswoman for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said after visiting the hospital that many of the wounded were children, describing “truly horrific scenes.”
“There is a lot of anger and resentment” among the residents of this area “because they were told it was a safe place,” she said.
