Israeli military has targeted at least 10 displacement centres affiliated with UNRWA in the past 24 hours.
Shelters housing tens of thousands of Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been hit in Jabalia, Nuseirat, Gaza City and Rafah. With the latest strikes on Rafah, the death toll of the attacks stands at over 190.
Recent attack on Rafah was carried out using seven 2,000-pound (one-tonne) bombs, which killed at least 30.

A statement from an emergency worker in Rafah:

“We received a distress call after the area behind Al Baraksat was targeted, even though the Israeli occupation had marked that particular block as a safe zone and forced citizens to move there. It took us approximately 45 minutes to suppress the fire in the area, and we pulled out a number of dead bodies and injured people."
