VisitIsraeli Airstrikes Kill 66 in Gaza, Including 30 at Post Office, Amid UN Ceasefire Call
Dec 13, 2024, 03:11 AM
Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip have resulted in significant casualties, with at least 66 Palestinians reported dead on Thursday. A particularly devastating strike targeted a post office in central Gaza, where displaced individuals were sheltering, killing at least 30 and wounding 50 others. The attacks also affected other areas, including the Nuseirat refugee camp, where strikes on residential buildings and homes resulted in the deaths of 21 people, including children. In southern Gaza, two separate attacks killed 13 members of a unit protecting humanitarian aid trucks, according to medical personnel and Hamas. The Israeli military has not commented on these specific incidents but claims to have conducted precise strikes on armed Hamas militants in the humanitarian corridor. Amidst this violence, the international community, including the United Nations, has called for an immediate ceasefire, highlighting the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire, and the Biden administration is making a renewed push for peace. The strikes have disrupted aid distribution, with trucks carrying flour to UNRWA warehouses being targeted, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. Most of the victims were women and children.
