An Israeli airstrike on the largest refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on Sunday killed at least 30 people, most of them women and children, Al Jazeera reported, citing Gaza’s Ministry of the Interior. At least 27 more people were injured. In recent days, health officials in Gaza have collected so many bodies that, after Israeli airstrikes over the weekend killed well over 100 people, they no longer have enough shrouds for the dead.

“We’ve been here since the crack of dawn and the bodies have completely filled the hospital yard, on top of the bodies which are in refrigerators which are full, inside the hospital building and outside,” a staff member helping to transport bodies told the BBC. “We don’t have enough shrouds for the bodies because the numbers are huge. All bodies are arriving in parts, unattached and in pieces. We can’t identify them because the bodies have been disfigured and crushed.” The scenes of horror and hospital beds full are the latest in the barrage of violence to hit Gaza since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel earlier this month.

Since the Oct. 7 attack that killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, Gaza’s health ministry claimed Israeli airstrikes have killed more than 4,700 people, according to Reuters. Hamas has also taken 212 people hostage. It is also violence that will continue, officials have said. Israel maintained its position for a planned ground offensive, with Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers engaging in a raid on Sunday near the area of Kibbutz Kissufim in preparation for the assault. One IDF soldier was killed while three were injured, an IDF spokesman said, according to CNN.

The Egyptian military confirmed injuries among its border guards on Sunday after the IDF admitted that one of its tanks had “accidentally” fired at Egyptian positions near the Gaza-Egypt border. A spokesperson for the Egyptian army said that fragments of a shell had caused “minor” wounds among the border guards, without providing more details. The independent Egyptian news outlet MadaMasr, however, reported that nine Egyptian nationals had been injured in the incident near the Rafah border crossing, adding that ambulances carried the wounded guards away to a nearby hospital, according to Egyptian officials quoted anonymously by the outlet. In a statement about the incident, the Israeli military apologized for the strike.
