Around five bodies arrived at a hospital in Gaza's Deir al-Balah on Monday after Israeli strikes killed eight people, including a child and five policemen, health authorities said.

According to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where the bodies were taken, the dead policemen were in a vehicle securing aid in the Matahen area, south of the city of Deir al-Balah, when an Israeli airstrike hit them.

Two other policemen were also wounded in the strike. In the built-up Bureij refugee camp, an Israeli strike hit an apartment, killing a child, the hospital said.
