The strike, which Gaza medics say occurred late on Sunday, was condemned by international leaders as there are hundreds of civilians wounded with shrapnel and burn wounds. As per the reports, around 45 people, including children, were killed at a refugee camp in Gaza's Rafah after an Israeli air strike.
