"More foreign nationals prepared to leave the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday as the enclave's government said at least 195 Palestinians died in Israel's attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp, in strikes that UN Human Rights officials said could be war crimes. Israeli strikes have targeted Jabalia refugee camp twice in two days, killing and wounding dozens, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory.
Given the high number of civilian casualties and the scale of destruction following Israeli airstrikes in Jabalia refugee camp, we have serious concerns that these are disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes, the UN Human Rights office said in a statement. Amid growing international calls for a humanitarian pause in hostilities, conditions in the seaside enclave are increasingly desperate under Israel's assault and tight blockade. Food, fuel, drinking water, and medicine have run short. UN Chief Antonio Guterres is appalled over the escalating violence in Gaza, including the killing of Palestinians, including women and children, in Israeli airstrikes in residential areas of the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp, his spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Wednesday.

Israel has relentlessly pounded Gaza in retribution for the worst attack in the country's history. Gunmen stormed across the border from Gaza on October 7, killing 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and taking more than 230 hostages, according to Israeli officials. Gaza's Hamas government media office said on Thursday that at least 195 Palestinians were killed in the two Israeli attacks on Jabalia, with 120 still missing under the rubble. At least 777 more were wounded, it said in a statement.
The large death count from the strikes has drawn a chorus of international condemnation, with Bolivia severing diplomatic ties with Israel in protest. Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel to condemn the Israeli war that is killing innocent people in Gaza."
