Maha Hussaini, from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, says the Israeli attack that killed at least 90 people and wounded 300 others at the al-Mawasi camp “is nothing new”. “Areas where displaced Palestinians were forced to go have been under continuous bombardment. This has been ongoing for nine months straight,” she told Al Jazeera from central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah. Hussaini described the Israeli strikes as a “complex crime” that involved preventing ambulances from reaching the many injured.
“Drones opened fire on anyone or anything trying to evacuate the wounded. Only a few hours after this, another massacre was committed in the west of Gaza City. This genocide in Gaza is systematic. We’ve witnessed that Israel is intensifying these attacks on displacement centres,” she said.

Al-Mawasi had been declared a safe zone by Israel as it pursues its military offensive in other parts of the Gaza Strip in response to the October 7 Hamas attacks.
