Gaza: Israel pounds Shati refugee camp killing children and women

Saturday 15-May-2021

Several Palestinian children and women were killed at dawn Saturday in a new massacre committed by Israel in Gaza as its forces continued to bombard civilian homes and buildings with aerial missiles and artillery projectiles.

As of early Saturday at least 136 Palestinians including 37 children and 22 women have been killed and 1000 have been wounded since Israel started its large-scale aggression on Monday May 10 according to the latest statistics from Gaza.

The death toll is expected to rise as another spate of Israeli airstrikes rocked at dawn the coastal Shati refugee camp in the northwest of Gaza killing at least eight children and two women in one house while burying several others in the rubble.

The health ministry in Gaza said that ambulance crews evacuated 10 bodies and 20 injured civilians from the bombed house to Shifa Hospital. The house belonged to the family of Abu Hatab.

Several areas of Gaza mainly Khan Yunis came under heavy aerial and artillery bombardment after midnight and throughout the early morning hours of Saturday.

At 12:26 am two martyrs and several wounded citizens were evacuated to Indonesian Hospital following air raids on northern Gaza.
