More than 40 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured by the Israeli occupation forces massacre against Rafah on the night of May 26, the Civil Defense in Gaza said today. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that it is hard to determine the final number of Palestinians killed by the IOF in this massacre, as due to the magnitude of the explosion some people were lost, and others were seriously injured amid a collapsing health system in the Gaza Strip. 

Our correspondent added that hospitals in Rafah have completely collapsed and people are now relying on field hospitals that cannot provide the required medical services for the injured Palestinians.

Most of those who were killed in the Rafah massacre were displaced Palestinians from Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip, he said.

A child was killed and others injured due to the IOF bombing a house for al-Kurdi family in al-Bureij Camp in the central Gaza Strip. 

Israeli occupation drones also bombed a group of Palestinians near the new market in the Nuseirat Camp in the central Gaza Strip killing a number of them.

In the same camp, on al-Zohour Street, three Palestinians were also killed due to the IOF bombing the street. 

In the south of Gaza City, the IOF continue to shell the Sabra and al-Zaytoun neighborhoods with artillery. They also targeted Shaboura and Yibna camps, the Qashta neighborhood, al-Balad area south, and the center of Rafah. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent said that at this point, "Israel" has escalated its barbaric aggression against Gaza, emphasizing that 190 Palestinian casualties have been transported to hospitals during the past hours due to the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Strip. 

'Israel' commits gruesome massacre in Rafah alleged safe zone

On the evening of May 26, the Israeli occupation forces committed a new massacre against dozens of displaced persons by bombing their tents set up in UNRWA warehouses in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, an alleged safe zone.

The Government Media Office reported that the Israeli occupation committed a horrific massacre through the concentrated and deliberate bombing of a center for the forcibly displaced, established in UNRWA barracks in the northwest of Rafah Governorate. The center was bombed with more than seven missiles and large bombs, each equal to one ton of explosives in intensity.

According to the Government Media Office, this violent bombing led to the martyrdom of dozens and caused numerous injuries, some of which are very serious, indicating a confirmed rise in the number of martyrs from this massacre.

In turn, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that there were a large number of martyrs and injured due to the occupation's airstrike on the displaced persons' camp in Rafah, noting that the search for missing persons at the site remains ongoing.

Palestinian media also reported that "a large number of martyrs and injured are still in the camp, while ambulance and civil defense teams are struggling to reach them," adding that "the fires are still burning in the camp due to the bombing."
