At least 42 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza on Eid-al-Adha, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as the US-backed group distributing aid in the Palestinian territory said all its centres were closed until further notice.
The dead bodies of 16 people arrived at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis on Friday, local health authorities said, while another 16 were brought to Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, five to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, and five more to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah.
“This is how Eid looks here in Gaza,” said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu-Azoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah on the first day of the Muslim holy festival usually marked by joy. This year the day “is a very grim reminder of what they have lost and how they are forced to cope with unimaginable circumstances” amid bombardment, displacement and loss, he added.
