williamson has more. still early days but the gaza authorities are accusing israel of carrying out a strike and what they say was an area where internally displaced people from the fighting had been sheltering. garzo�*s information office was saying more than 30 people have died, dozens have been injured in an area north—west of rafah and it said 100,000 people were sheltering there. certainly the number of casualties seems to be backed up casualties seems to be backed up by casualties seems to be backed up by hospitals, by risk resident workers in the area who say they are transporting and receiving large numbers of dead and injured and that it was a designated humanitarian area. i should say this has happened in the context of israel's ongoing military operation in rough which it says it needs to carry out to target remaining hamas battalions but there has been stiff resistance and earlier today we saw a barrage of rockets fired from rafah towards central towns in israel, including towards tel aviv.
