Tuesday, October 29, 2024, an Israeli bombing on a residential building in Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza, caused the death of at least 93 people, according to the Palestinian civil defense services.
Among the victims, the Gaza Ministry of Health confirmed the deaths of 25 children, accentuating the shock and pain of this attack.
The rescuers worked tirelessly to find survivors under the rubble, while dozens of people remain missing. The complete destruction of the five -story building plunged the region into terror, and the absence of adequate medical infrastructure further complicates the treatment of the injured.
Rabie Al-Shandagly, a witness who had found refuge in a neighboring school, described the scene: “The explosion took place during the night. When the day got up, bodies and wounded were extracted from the rubble. »»
Tor Wennesland, the United Nations Special Envoy for Peace in the Middle East, denounced this strike as a serious violation of international humanitarian law. This attack is added to a series of deadly incidents that strike the region, while the Israeli headquarters in Gaza enters its 26th day, aggravating the situation of the thousands of Palestinians trapped without access to food, water and care.
