Civilians in Gaza city are being told to leave their homes and head south. The israeli army has dropped thousands of leaflets telling more than a quarter of a million people that the area remains a dangerous combat zone. Further south, at least 29 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded yesterday in an israeli airstrike on a camp for displaced people. Gaza's Hamas run health ministry says the strike was next to the gate of a nearby school east of the city of Khan Yunis. Virgil Keen's report does contain some distressing images.

The women of the house of Abu Abed. They have lost a brother. Muhammad was 27, trained to teach special needs children and about to be married.

He was going out to call his fiance next week the borders will open and he could go see her, he joked. Goodbye, Gaza. Goodbye.

Muhammad was planning to join his future wife in Egypt. Her family escaped there after nine were killed in an earlier airstrike. His sister in law, Inas, blinded in one eye then, and Mohammed's fiance, Hadil.

Up to the last minute, I was planning for him to arrive here. We were going to stay for a while and if things improved, go back to Gaza now. I don't know what to do.

The missile was fired around 730 in the evening. Praying nearby in Alada ran to help and saw children's bodies, parts of bodies. The israeli military says it was targeting a Hamas member allegedly involved in the October 7 massacres. In doing so, they killed 29 people. Dozens more were wounded. They've been bombed, displaced from one fragile refuge to another, and there is what they have seen and what cannot be unremembered. They lean in to stop the child struggling as shrapnel is removed from his head. Pure chance. The direction of the blast saved this infant. The Israelis say they used precise munitions and are reviewing the circumstances of the airstrike. The teacher, Mohammed Abed, was one of those buried today by sisters still trapped in this hell, grieving for him and for what their children must endure. Fergal Keen, BBC News, Jerusalem.
