At least 274 killed, 698 injured in Israeli attack on Nuseirat refugee camp, many women, children among victims.
Israel’s raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp has caused outrage, with the EU calling it “a massacre”. The death toll has risen to 274 and more than 698 others injured, according to Gaza’s health ministry.
Doctors describe the scenes inside Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza as a “complete bloodbath”, with one medic saying the inside of the hospital “looks like a slaughterhouse”. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals are “overwhelmed”.
Israeli forces said they rescued four captives held in the attack at the Nuseirat refugee camp amid criticism due to the large number of civilian causalities. One Israeli officer died during the deadly raid.
Hamas’s military spokesman says Israel killed captives in its Nuseirat operation, without specifying the circumstances or how many were killed.
At least 37,084 people have been killed and 84,494 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
