GAZA, Palestine (AA) - Several Palestinians were killed and injured early Tuesday in an Israeli airstrike on a tent encampment in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

The strike targeted tents for displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, according to an Anadolu correspondent.

Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip – now nearly a year old – has killed around 41,100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 94,800 others, according to local health authorities.

A continuing blockade of the enclave has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.

Israel faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
