At least 42 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks on al-Shati refugee camp and Al-Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza.

At least 42 people were killed in Israeli attacks on districts of Gaza City in the north of the Palestinian enclave on Saturday, the director of the strip's government media office said.

One Israeli strike on houses in Al-Shati, one of the Gaza Strip's eight historic refugee camps, killed 24 people, Ismail Al-Thawabta told Reuters. Another 18 Palestinians were killed in a strike on houses in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood.

This comes after Israeli forces shelled tent camps for displaced Palestinians in the al-Mawasi area designated a "humanitarian safe zone" by Israel on Friday, killing at least 25 people and wounding another 50.
