At least 70 civilians, mostly women and children, have been killed in an airstrike by Israeli forces while attempting to flee Gaza.

As many as 200 people have also been injured by the strikes after three convoys carrying evacuees were struck while heading towards southern Gaza Valley after being given 24 hours to vacate the area by Israeli forces.

Hamas officials initially reported the strikes, which have since been corroborated by the Palestinian Health Authority and independent journalists.

Now shocking footage of the aftermath (warning: graphic content) of the strikes has emerged, depicting a bombed-out street littered with burning cars and bloodied bodies as a survivor makes their way through the wreckage.

Meanwhile, sirens can be heard in the distance while a truck loaded with dead or wounded bodies can be seen driving past.
