An Israeli airstrike killed 76 members of an extended family, rescue officials said Saturday, a day after the U.N. chief warned again that nowhere is safe in Gaza and that Israel’s ongoing offensive is creating “massive obstacles” to the distribution of humanitarian aid.
Mahmoud Bassal, a spokesman for Gaza’s Civil Defense department said, Friday’s strike on a building in Gaza City was among the deadliest of the Israel-Hamas war, now in its 12th week. He provided a partial list of the names of those killed – 16 heads of households from the al-Mughrabi family – and said the dead included women and children.
Among the dead were Issam al-Mughrabi, a veteran employee of U.N. Development Program, his wife, and their five children.
