America Calls Israel's Attack That Killed 93 People In North Gaza Terrible

JAKARTA - 93 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured in Israeli attacks on buildings in the city of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. The United States called the incident "terrible".

Medics said 20 children were among the dead.

A number of victims are still under the rubble and on the road, and ambulances and civilian defense crews cannot reach them, the health ministry in Gaza said.

On Tuesday, Ismail Al-Thawabta, director of Gaza's state media office, said the death toll reached 93 people.

There has been no immediate comment from Israel. The Israeli military often questioned the death toll figures published by the Hama-run media office, saying the figure was often exaggerated.

Reported by Reuters on Wednesday, October 30, Israel's main ally, the United States, said it was concerned about the high death toll, and US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller called it a "terrible incident with dire consequences".

US officials have contacted the Israeli government to ask what happened.

He learned that many of the victims who died were children.

While the United Nations Human Rights Office said it was "shocked" by one of the deadliest attacks in nearly three months. UN human rights calls for a rapid and transparent investigation into the incident.

Video footage obtained by Reuters showed several bodies wrapped in blankets on the ground outside the four-story building that was bombed.

More bodies and survivors were lifted from below the rubble as neighbors rushed to help with the rescue.

There were dozens of martyrs (died) dozens of refugees living in this house. The house was bombed without prior warning. As you can see, the martyrs are here and there, with body parts hanging on the wall, said Ismail Ouaida, a witness who helped retrieve the bodies, in the video.

On Tuesday evening, Palestinian health officials said several people were killed and injured in Israeli airstrikes that hit three houses in Beit Lahiya.
