⚠️UPDATE: At least 45 dead and almost 250 injured in Rafah at Al Mawasi refugee camp

Officials from the Health Ministry have revised the death toll from Sunday night's Israeli airstrike on a Rafah refugee camp from 35 to at least 45 and said that over 200 more had been injured.

"Forty-five people lost their lives in yesterday's massacre in Rafah, including 23 women, children and older people," the Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement, putting the number of wounded at 249.

The attack has taken the total number of Palestinian fatalities in the war past 36,000, according to the ministry, whose figures don't distinguish between combatants and civilians.

In its initial findings on Monday, Israel acknowledged that the airstrike may have sparked a major fire which caused the fatalities.

Meanwhile, Colombia's Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said the international community should "insist to Israel and its allies that the country negotiate a peaceful solution to the conflict."
