"This atrocious massacre of dozens of refugees demonstrates the impunity with which Israel perpetuates its genocide against the Palestinian people," he stressed. 

Two massacres within 48 hours

The Government Media Office in Gaza confirmed that the Israeli occupation killed 72 displaced Palestinians within 48 hours by bombing their tents in areas it had labeled as "safe zones", west of Rafah. 

Israeli occupation forces committed several massacres in Rafah with the latest one being the massacre committed in the al-Mawasi area on May 28, in which 22 Palestinians were killed.

Earlier, on the evening of May 26, Israeli occupation forces committed a massacre against dozens of displaced Palestinians by bombing their tents set up in UNRWA warehouses in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, also a designated "safe zone".

More than 50 Palestinians were killed and many others were injured as a result of this massacre.
