On the first day of Eid al-Adha, the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice, Gaza continues to endure relentless Israeli military attacks, causing widespread panic and displacement among hundreds of families in Rafah and Deir el-Balah. The situation is dire, with many homes and public facilities destroyed, leaving people in a state of fear and uncertainty.
The Israeli military has aggressively targeted the western areas of Rafah city, including the Saudi neighbourhood and Tal as-Sultan, where numerous families remain trapped. These attacks have devastated homes and public infrastructure, compounding already existing chaos and panic among the residents.
Artillery shelling has been reported in central Gaza, particularly in eastern Deir el-Balah. The Israeli military claimed these areas were used by Palestinian fighting groups for infrastructure purposes, although no further details were provided. This shelling has forced even more people into internal displacement.
The northern part of the Gaza Strip is not spared from the turmoil. Residents are grappling with the constant threat of falling bombs and attacks on their homes, while also facing severe dehydration and hunger. These conditions are exacerbated by the lack of access to essential resources.
