DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 28 people, mostly women and children, the territory’s Health Ministry said Thursday.

At least 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, health officials and first responders say. Nine people died in the morning when a missile hit a police station in the market area of Jabalia town, in northern Gaza, a local hospital said.

Gaza has become a "mass grave" for Palestinians and those trying to help them, medical charity MSF said on Wednesday.
