According to the Brazilian Embassy in Palestine on Friday (20), relatives of a Brazilian who wanted to leave the Gaza Strip died in a bomb attack in the north of the territory.
Hasan Rabee, a Brazilian who was among the group taken by the embassy to homes in southern Gaza, said his cousin, his wife and all of the couple’s children and grandchildren were hit by an airstrike that hit the building , where they were living.
The Brazilian embassy confirmed this g1 the deaths. Brazilian Ambassador to Palestine Alessandro Candeas said the relatives did not have Brazilian citizenship.
“There was a bomb attack near her house and the entire building was destroyed. He was a good, hardworking citizen, that has nothing to do with it. “I don’t even know how many children will have to die to end this war and the attacks on civilians here in Gaza,” Hasan said in a report to GloboNews.
He further stated that a total of around 60 people were killed in this attack.
Last week, the Israeli government called on the population of the entire northern Gaza Strip, including Gaza City, to leave their homes and move to the south of the territory, suggesting that this would lead to an increase in attacks in the area, which borders the south of Israel.
The Israeli military is also preparing a land attack into the Gaza Strip, which will begin in the north. Dozens of tanks from the country’s army have been stationed at the border since the beginning of the week.
But many Palestinians reported that they had nowhere to go because under the current agreement between the Egyptian and Israeli governments to open the border, only foreigners can leave Gaza (more on this below).
and therefore, like the Brazilian’s relatives, they remained in their homes in the north of the Gaza Strip.

In addition to Brazilians, hundreds of other foreigners and thousands of Palestinians are crowding these two cities, waiting for a solution in negotiations between Israel and Egypt to open the border.
