Some victims are still under the debris and on the streets as Israeli forces are blocking ambulances and civil defense teams from reaching them, Xinhua news agency reports.

On October 7, 2023, Israel launched a large-scale attack against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas's offensive in southern Israel, during which approximately 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
