The health ministry in Gaza reported that at least 93 people were dead or missing, mostly from the Abu Naser family, as well as displaced individuals who had taken refuge in the building.
The attack in Beit Lahiya devastated neighborhoods, killing at least 60 and wounding many more, with children among the dead.
Israel has escalated its offensive in northern Gaza, targeting areas like Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun, where around 900 have died according to local medics.
Israel states that its strikes aim to dismantle Hamas militants allegedly hiding among civilians, but many residents feel the bombings indiscriminately target non-combatants, leading to widespread civilian suffering.
Since Hamas’s surprise cross-border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 people and took over 250 hostages, Israel has intensified its efforts to eliminate Hamas’s influence in Gaza.
Humanitarian conditions in Gaza have deteriorated severely, especially after Israel banned the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), further limiting aid to the region.
Residents have expressed a sense of abandonment as international focus shifts toward conflicts involving Hezbollah in Lebanon.
