Gaza’s government has said that 195 people had been killed in two days of Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp, the biggest in the Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

Its government press office said officials “have recorded 195 martyrs, 120 missing under the rubble, and 777 wounded” at the camp on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The French government said it was “deeply concerned about the very heavy (civilian) toll” and the UN Human Rights Office described the strikes as “disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes”.
