At least 21 Palestinians killed and 79 injured after Israeli bombing of residential buildings in Gaza

MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

At least 21 Palestinians have been killed and 79 injured after a shelling by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against six residential buildings in the city of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Among the fatalities, the vast majority of whom are women and children, there are eight members of the same family, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Previously, a group of United Nations special rapporteurs has lamented the "inaction of the international community" in the face of war crimes committed by Israel both in the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and in the West Bank, where Israeli Army operations have increased in recent weeks.

The authorities of the Strip, controlled by Hamas, have put the death toll at more than 3,800 due to the Israeli bombings against the enclave, while the United Nations and various NGOs have warned of the deepening of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza due to the "total siege." imposed by Israel, which has said that some 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 kidnapped in attacks by the group, backed by Islamic Jihad.
