Five killed in Israeli attack on municipal building in Gaza City

There has been yet another attack that happened within the past hour when an Israeli air strike targeted a Gaza municipality facility in the heart of Gaza City in al-Wehda Street, a very important area in the Gaza City, where a large number of people from both the eastern and western part of Gaza City have sought refuge.

Initial reports say that four municipality employees and one passer-by were killed in the attack, and multiple others injured.

It’s important to emphasise that we’re not looking at an area that is only being used by the municipality and their employees, but also by people who have been pushed and forcibly displaced and who have been sheltering inside a residential home close by.

Their family members who work for the municipality, happened to be inside this facility when it was targeted. It’s a public garage of the municipality where they keep their trucks and most of the equipment that they use during the cleanup of areas struck by the Israeli military.

They have all been transported to al-Ahli Arab Hospital (Baptist Hospital), despite the fact that the location of this public facility is very close to al-Shifa Hospital, but since al-Shifa is no longer functioning, this was the only option.
