Thus, 72 of the total of 111 fatalities have died in the Al Shati refugee camp in Gaza City and in Beit Lahia, in the north of the Strip.

Attacks have also been reported in the east of Deir Al Balá, the refugee camp located in the center of the Palestinian enclave, where at least two people have been killed and an unknown number have been injured.
