War on Gaza: List of key events, day 78

Israel presses on with its bombardment of the Strip, with the latest attacks reported in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza and Khan Yunis in the south.

Israeli troops backed by armoured vehicles and a bulldozer launched dawn raids across the occupied West Bank, searching homes and clashing with Palestinian youth in Jenin and a nearby refugee camp, according to local media reports.

At least 18 Palestinians, including children, were killed by Israeli attacks in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp.

Approximately 70% of the people killed in Gaza as a result of Israel’s military onslaught were women and children, while another 53,320 Palestinians have been injured during the same period, according to the UN.

The WHO chief has reiterated that “famine is looming in Gaza” as the continuous fighting has blocked access to food and other critical supplies.
