Gaza – Jabalia

At least 50 people are said to have been killed Tuesday in an Israeli air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, the director of one of the hospitals in Gaza said, reported by al-Jazeera. The same message came from the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health. In addition to fifty killed, the ministry also reports 150 wounded. In addition, an unknown number of people are buried under rubble, the ministry said in a statement. The figures have not been independently confirmed. A video from the AFP news agency shows at least 47 bodies exhumed from the rubble. Ragheb Aqal, who lives in the refugee camp, described the attack as “an earthquake” that shook the entire camp. “I went out and saw the devastation. Homes are buried under the rubble and there are body parts and martyrs and wounded in large numbers,” the 41-year-old Palestinian told AFP. /ritzau/
