At least two people have been killed in the latest Israeli attacks on Gaza, as the Ministry of Health in the strip calls for the Rafah crossing to be opened to allow sick and wounded Palestinians to leave for treatment.

Israeli attacks across Gaza continue at a “very high pace” on Thursday, with drone strikes hitting the centre and north of the territory over the past few hours, according to Al Jazeera’s Ashraf Abu Amra.

Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Abu Amra said an Israeli drone fired two missiles in quick succession at a civilian car in the middle of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, killing two Palestinians and wounding others.

The wounded were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, where they were rushed into operating theatres or admitted to intensive care. One is in critical condition.

“The strike was sudden and came without prior warning,” Abu Amra said, noting that Israeli aircraft are flying at low altitude across all areas of the strip.

Earlier, an Israeli strike in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, wounded a Palestinian who was taken to al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Abu Amra said attacks were escalating east of Jabalia in the Halawa camp, one of the largest displacement camps in the north, where Israeli forces stationed along the edges of the so-called “Yellow Line” have begun firing directly at tents sheltering displaced families.

Israeli strikes in east Gaza City

In eastern Gaza City, explosions have been heard in the Shujayea, Tuffah and Zeitoun neighbourhoods as a result of Israeli artillery shelling. Israeli forces are also carrying out large-scale demolitions in areas under their control behind the “Yellow Line”, including east of Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis and Gaza City, and in Beit Lahiya in the north, destroying homes and what remains of local infrastructure.

On Thursday morning, four Palestinians were buried at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after being killed in an Israeli drone strike in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah, near the Rafah and Karem Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossings.

Abu Amra said the victims were civilian employees of the Ministry of Economy who monitor aid trucks entering through Karem Abu Salem.

More than 30 others were wounded in the attack, according to Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kahlout. Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians live in tents in al-Mawasi, which Israel had previously designated a “safe zone”.

Al-Kahlout also reported that 11 people, including women and children, were wounded when Israeli artillery struck a house east of Gaza City, citing emergency services.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that six Palestinians had been killed and 38 wounded over the previous 24 hours.

The violence came as the ministry renewed its call for the Rafah crossing to be opened so that sick and wounded Palestinians can leave the territory for treatment.

In a statement, the ministry said 21,468 patients and wounded people need to travel for care outside Gaza, including 6,430 identified as priority cases.

It blamed repeated border closures and what it described as deliberate delays in evacuation procedures for worsening patients’ conditions, saying dozens had died while waiting for permission to leave and the health of thousands more had seriously deteriorated.

Since February, 3,056 patients and wounded people have been evacuated for treatment abroad, the ministry said, 2,614 through Rafah, which connects Gaza with Egypt, and 442 through the Karem Abu Salem crossing with Israel.

加沙卫生部表示，尽管达成了停火协议，但以色列的袭击仍在继续，导致数十人在等待出国治疗期间死亡。

在以色列最近对加沙的袭击中，至少有两人丧生。与此同时，加沙卫生部呼吁开放拉法过境点，以便让患病和受伤的巴勒斯坦人前往接受治疗。

据半岛电视台记者阿什拉夫·阿布·阿姆拉报道，周四，以色列对加沙地带的袭击继续以“非常高的节奏”进行，过去几个小时里，无人机袭击了该地区的中部和北部。

阿布·阿姆拉从代尔巴拉赫报道说，一架以色列无人机在加沙中部马加齐难民营中央向一辆民用汽车连续发射了两枚导弹，造成两名巴勒斯坦人死亡，多人受伤。

伤者被送往阿克萨烈士医院，随后被紧急送入手术室或重症监护室。其中一人伤势危重。

“这次袭击来得突然，事先没有任何警告，”阿布·阿姆拉说，并指出以色列飞机正在该跑道的所有区域低空飞行。

此前，以色列在加沙北部贾巴利亚发动空袭，导致一名巴勒斯坦人受伤，该巴勒斯坦人被送往加沙城的希法医院。

阿布·阿姆拉表示，在贾巴利亚以东的哈拉瓦难民营（北部最大的流离失所者营地之一），袭击事件正在升级。驻扎在所谓“黄线”边缘的以色列军队开始直接向安置流离失所家庭的帐篷开火。

以色列空袭加沙城东部

加沙城东部的舒贾耶、图法和宰图恩街区传出爆炸声，这是以色列炮击造成的。以色列军队还在“黄线”以东的其控制区，包括代尔巴拉赫、汗尤尼斯和加沙城以东以及北部的拜特拉希亚，进行大规模的拆迁，摧毁房屋和当地残存的基础设施。

周四上午，四名巴勒斯坦人在拉法市马瓦西地区（靠近拉法和卡雷姆阿布萨利姆（卡雷姆沙洛姆）过境点）遭以色列无人机袭击身亡后，被安葬在汗尤尼斯市的纳赛尔医院。

阿布·阿姆拉表示，遇难者是经济部的文职雇员，他们负责监控经由卡雷姆·阿布·萨利姆进入的援助卡车。

据半岛电视台记者穆阿特·卡卢特报道，袭击事件还造成30多人受伤。数万名流离失所的巴勒斯坦人居住在马瓦西的帐篷里，以色列此前曾将该地区划为“安全区”。

据《卡卢特报》报道，紧急救援部门称，以色列炮兵击中加沙城东部的一所房屋，造成包括妇女和儿童在内的 11 人受伤。

加沙卫生部周四表示，过去 24 小时内有 6 名巴勒斯坦人丧生，38 人受伤。

暴力事件发生之际，该部再次呼吁开放拉法过境点，以便患病和受伤的巴勒斯坦人能够离开该地区接受治疗。

该部在一份声明中表示，有 21468 名患者和伤员需要前往加沙以外的地方接受治疗，其中包括 6430 名被确定为优先病例的人。

该机构将患者病情恶化归咎于反复关闭边境以及其所称的故意拖延撤离程序，称数十人在等待获准离开期间死亡，另有数千人的健康状况严重恶化。

该部表示，自 2 月以来，已有 3056 名患者和伤员被撤离到国外接受治疗，其中 2614 人通过连接加沙和埃及的拉法口岸撤离，442 人通过连接以色列的卡雷姆阿布萨利姆口岸撤离。
