The EU referred to Israel’s attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp as “a massacre,” which infuriated many. The Government Media Office in Gaza reports that there are now 226 dead and nearly 400 injured.
The interior of Al-Aqsa Hospital in downtown Gaza is described by medical professionals as a “complete bloodbath,” with one physician remarking that it “looks like a slaughter house.” Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF), are “overwhelmed.”
Four hostages were saved by Israeli forces during the raid at the Nuseirat refugee camp, which has drawn condemnation for the high number of casualties among civilians. The tragic raid claimed the life of one Israeli officer.
According to a military spokesman for Hamas, Israel murdered hostages during its Nuseirat raid, however he did not provide details or an estimate of the number of casualties.
The Israeli attack on Gaza has resulted in at least 36,801 deaths and 83,680 injuries since October 7. There are still many hostages in Gaza, and the updated dead toll from Hamas strikes in Israel is 1,139.
