There was no immediate comment from Hamas.<\/p>\n During Israel\u2019s two-year genocidal war on Gaza, the Maghazi refugee camp was designated by the Israeli military as a so-called safe zone.<\/p>\n It was previously one of the Palestinian enclave\u2019s smallest refugee camps, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians in the Near East (UNRWA), with about 30,000 residents. In the first months of war, the population more than tripled.<\/p>\n Despite its designation as a \u201csafe zone\u201d, the Israeli military targeted it in numerous deadly strikes. One attack in December 2023 killed more than 100 people, mostly displaced women and children.<\/p>\n Since a fragile \u201cceasefire\u201d was reached in October, Israel has continued to attack sites across the Gaza Strip, including the Maghazi camp.<\/p>\n Earlier today, a member of staff from the World Health Organization (WHO) was killed in Gaza<\/a>, and several others were injured when the Israeli army fired on their vehicle, according to sources, including an Al Jazeera correspondent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nRecommended Stories <\/h2>\n
