'Chaos' & 'despair' at Gaza hospital after Israeli strike on 'safe zone' - UN eyewitness | DW News
Israel confirmed that an airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed a senior Hamas leader.
The Israeli military said that Hamas' Khan Younis brigade commander Rafa Salama died in the attack on the al-Mawasi camp in the south of the Gaza Strip. The area had previously been declared a safe, humanitarian zone by Israel. Hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are believed to be taking shelter in the camp.
The Hamas-run Heath Ministry in Gaza says at least 92 people were killed in the attack, while hundreds more were injured. Many of those wounded were taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. Scott Anderson from the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) was there at the time and he told us what he witnessed.
The strike comes as the Israeli military continues its campaign in Gaza against Hamas, in retaliation for the October 7 terror attacks in Israel that left some 1,200 people dead, mostly civilians.
Hamas and other Palestinians groups also took 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza. The Israeli military says 42 of the remaining hostages in Gaza have died.
Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the US, Germany, EU, and others.

Belgrade could see Cairo-level heat by 2050 | DW News
Urban green spaces are essential for air quality and help balance city temperatures. In Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, large-scale construction has significantly reduced the percentage of urban green cover, thus contributing to unbearable heat waves in summer.
Environment experts say the prizing of private interests over public benefit is the main reason why urban green spaces — which are essential for air quality and the regulation of temperatures — are being replaced by concrete buildings.
This phenomenon is on the rise in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, where the concrete jungle is spreading, robbing the city of its green cover. This, coupled with climate change, means that summers in Belgrade are becoming unbearable.
In fact, Serbian meteorologists expect weather conditions in the city to be similar to those in Egypt's capital, Cairo, by 2050.
