At least 13 people have been killed in an overnight Israeli airstrike in central Gaza, according to a staff member at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
The strike hit a home in al-Zawaida in Deir al Balah killing all 13 people inside, including children, Dr Khalil Al Dikran, head of nursing at the hospital, told a journalist working for CNN.
The journalist, who was at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital on Tuesday morning, counted a total of 44 bodies in the morgue tent being prepared for burial, including the 13 killed overnight.
The other casualties were killed in strikes on Monday afternoon that hit two homes and a wedding hall being used to shelter displaced residents who had fled northern Gaza, according to Al Dikran.
He added that the Monday airstrikes occurred in central Gaza, killing 31 people.
