Israeli forces again bombed the so-called “safe zone” in Gaza’s al-Mawasi, killing at least 20 people and wounding dozens more. Our correspondents say women and children were “incinerated” in the attack.

    Israeli forces continued air raids on southern Lebanon despite a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah, claiming an attack on what it called a launchpad in the Majdal Zoun area.

    Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 44,532 Palestinians and wounded 105,538 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.

    In Lebanon, at least 4,047 people have been killed and 16,638 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.

    MSF condemns Israeli raid on West Bank hospital

    Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has condemned Israeli forces for opening fire, intimidating patients, and threatening medical staff “at gunpoint” during a raid on the Turkish Government Hospital in the occupied West Bank city of Tubas.

    “This violent incursion is unacceptable and shocking,” said Karine Robert, MSF’s deputy head of mission for Palestine.

    MSF said five medical staff were detained and one person was wounded during Tuesday’s “hour-long raid” on the hospital, with which the medical charity collaborates.

    “Patients were told to stay still or they would be shot and killed,” MSF said in a post on X.

    Israeli forces infiltrated the medical facility, taking two bodies and an injured person who were transferred to the hospital after an Israeli air attack on a car in the nearby village of Aqqaba.

    ‘Horror in Gaza must end’, says UNGA president

    Philemon Yang said the international community’s demands are clear on Gaza, noting that 14 members of the UN Security Council voted for an immediate ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave, only for the resolution to be blocked by the US.

    “Once again, the Security Council is paralysed, unable to fulfil its primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security,” he said in a speech at the UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on Wednesday.

    The resolution, put forward by 10 non-permanent UNSC members, called for an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in the 14-month conflict, while also demanding the release of captives held in Gaza.

    Yang said in his speech that the “horror in Gaza must end”.

    He called for the UNGA to take the lead on resolving the conflict due to the paralysis in the UNSC, and said the issue cannot be fixed through “endless war and occupation”.

    The UNGA adopted two pro-Palestinian resolutions on Wednesday, including one calling for an international peace conference on the two-state solution – co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France – to be held in June.

    ‘I am the only person who was saved’: Survivor recounts Israel’s attack on al-Mawasi

    An elderly Palestinian man whose entire family was wounded in the Israeli attack told Al Jazeera what he saw.

    “After the sunset prayer, an explosion took place. It was followed by a fire. The whole camp was destroyed,” he said in a video testimony.

    “I ran to search for my sons, my wife and my daughters. All of them were taken to hospital. I am the only person who was saved. The rest are at the hospital. I am still in shock. I don’t know what is happening.”
