On Monday, the Civil Defense of the small Palestinian territory reported that at least 29 people died in Israeli attacks, nine of them in a field of travel near Khan Yunis, in the south of the territory. “I was in front of my tent preparing breakfast for my four children, beans and some hard bread. And suddenly a blast happened, and one minute later,” he told AFP Shaima Al Shaer, who lives in the Campo de Sanabel.
The restrictions imposed on the press in Gaza and the difficulties of access to various points prevent verification independently of the numbers and the information released by the Civil Defense. The Hamas attack in October 2023 left 1,219 dead in Israel, mostly civilians, according to a balance based on Israeli official data. More than 57,500 Palestinians died in the offensive that Israel launched in retaliation in Gaza, mostly civilians, according to the Ministry of Health of the territory ruled by Hamas.
