Two Israeli attacks on residential buildings in northern Gaza have killed 84 Palestinians, including more than 50 children, Gaza’s Government Media Office has said.
“The Israeli occupation army commits two brutal massacres by bombing residential buildings belonging to the Shalayel and Ghandour families in northern Gaza Strip, resulting in more than 170 civilians being affected, with 84 martyrs including over 50 children, and dozens missing and injured,” the Government Media Office said on Friday.
It said 84 people were “massacred” as no civil defense crews, medical services or other relief services were available in the area amid an Israeli siege and continuing bombardment.
“These crimes come as the occupation army targets civilian families in residential buildings populated by civilians and displaced individuals, consisting of several stories," the statement said.
