GAZA: Eight children were killed while queuing for nutritional aid outside a health clinic in Deir el-Balah, Gaza, in an Israeli airstrike yesterday.
According to the Gaza Civil Defense Agency, the attack was part of a series of bombings that killed 66 people across the Palestinian territory on the same day.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), among the dead was a one-year-old baby boy, with the victim's mother reportedly seriously injured.
The US-based charity Project Hope, which runs the clinic, said victims were waiting for the clinic to open to receive treatment for malnutrition, infections and diseases.
Project Hope reported 15 deaths, including 10 children and two women.
The Israeli military confirmed to AFP that it targeted a Hamas militant in Deir el-Balah who was allegedly involved in an attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
