STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising across the Gaza skyline on Wednesday.
It comes as Israel continued to carry out a major operation which has been going on for more than a week at the Jabaliya refugee camp.
Israeli forces have repeatedly returned to Jabaliya and other areas after saying that Hamas militants had regrouped.
Hospitals have received around 350 bodies since the offensive began on October 6, according to Dr. Mounir al-Boursh, the director-general of Gaza’s Health Ministry.
He said that more than half the dead were women and children, and that many bodies remain in the streets and under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to reach them because of Israeli strikes.
Israel’s offensive has killed over 42,000 people, according to the Health Ministry, which does not say how many were fighters but says more than half were women and children.
The offensive has left large areas in ruins and displaced around 90% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million people, forcing hundreds of thousands into crowded tent camps or schools-turned-shelters.
The was in Gaza was triggered by Hamas’ October 7 attack on southern Israel in which some 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and another 250 were abducted.
Around 100 captives are still being held, about a third of whom are believed to be dead.
