Israel's eight-month war on Gaza has killed 36,801 people, with a further 83,680 wounded, according to the Palestinian territory's health ministry.

Israeli attacks on a central Gaza refugee camp killed more than 200 Palestinians dead and left hundreds wounded, the strip's government media office reported on Saturday, while Israel said its forces rescued four captives alive.

The media office said "the number of victims from the 'Israeli' occupation's massacre in the Al-Nuseirat camp has risen to 210 martyrs and more than 400 wounded".

Jordan's foreign ministry said it "condemned the brutal Israeli assault" on the camp, calling it a "practice that reflects the systematic targeting of Palestinian civilians, the Israeli persistence in violating international law and international humanitarian law, and the continuation of committing war crimes".

Egypt "condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli attacks on the Al-Nuseirat camp", a foreign ministry statement said.

The Israeli military said the four captives rescued were in "good medical condition". They had been seized from the Nova music festival during a Hamas-led 7 October attack.
