Sixteen people had initially been reported killed in two strikes on Thursday on the central Nuseirat refugee camp, but officials from the Al-Aqsa hospital said bodies continued to be brought in.
Overall, the hospital said they had received 21 dead bodies killed in the Israeli strikes, including some transferred from the Awda hospital, where they had been brought the day before.
One of the strikes killed an 18-month-old and his 10-year-old sister — the children’s mother was missing as of Friday and the father was killed by an Israeli airstrike four months ago, the family told AP journalists at Aqsa hospital.
Israeli strikes on a motorcycle in Zuwaida and on a house in Deir al-Balah on Friday killed four more, the hospital officials said, bringing the overall toll to 25.
Israel’s yearlong war on Gaza has killed over 43,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the territory's health ministry. The United Nations confirms the figures are reliable and that most of the dead are women and children.
