At least 45 Palestinians, including women, children and those displaced by the war were killed on Monday in Khan Younis by Israeli bombardments, which targeted “residential houses, buildings, towers and residential squares”, the UN reports.
Amid the slaughter of civilians, Israeli forces surrounded the headquarters of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society’s (PRCS) ambulance fleet and prevented the organisation from “providing support in the area”.
Israeli forces also carried out attacks close to Al Amal Hospital and its ambulance centre where “dozens of casualties” were reported.

Israeli forces have intensified their assault on the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, storming medical centers and killing dozens of Palestinians, in their fiercest fighting in the area thus far, Israeli and Palestinian sources said on Monday.
ReplyDeleteIsraeli tanks surrounded the city's Al-Amal Hospital, imposing a siege, while troops stormed another one, the Al-Khair Hospital, arresting medical staff. In a statement, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) expressed deep concern over the safety of its teams "trapped inside" the Al-Amal Hospital.
The PRCS also reported an unspecified number of casualties among displaced people due to Israeli bombings at shelter centers.
At least 50 Palestinians were killed, and 100 others injured in the strikes on Khan Younis over the past day, the Gaza-based Health Ministry Spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra told Al Jazeera TV news. Many others are feared to be trapped under the rubble, unable to be reached by rescue teams.
