On Friday, Israeli forces carried out another tents massacre in Gaza, this time in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah, killing at least thirty Palestinians, most of them children.

The World Health Organization says the health system in Gaza is facing near collapse as casualties from the Israeli assault in al-Mawasi poured into the already overwhelmed al-Aqsa Hospital. Many wounded died on the way to the depleted hospitals, as rescuers struggled to transport victims on animal carts — having run out of fuel and fearing Israel’s bombing of ambulances.

The Mawasi massacre was a seemingly deliberate assault on displaced civilians sheltering in makeshift tents in the sandy refugee camp located west of Rafah. “Fire was consuming us from every direction,” one horrified survivor told Al Jazeera. “We had just eaten and were about to sleep and take some rest, and the next thing we knew was the sound of resounding explosions destroying our places!”
