Israeli Strike Hits Gaza Safe Zone: Seven Dead, UN Condemns Escalating Violence
December 23, 2024Israeli forces recently bombed the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, striking a designated 'safe zone' where displaced families were living in tents.
This bombing resulted in the tragic deaths of at least seven Palestinians, contributing to a grim total of at least 50 fatalities reported in just one day.
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) condemned this escalation of attacks, noting that assaults on schools and hospitals have become alarmingly routine.
Compounding the humanitarian crisis, the situation in Gaza is further worsened by harsh winter conditions, which present additional challenges for the displaced families.
