The Gazan health ministry reported earlier today that another 81 people were killed in overnight strikes, including in the main southern city of Khan Younis, AFP reports.

Just before midnight on Tuesday, witnesses reported strikes on the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, sparking panic among the hundreds of displaced people seeking shelter there.

Earlier in the day, residents of the city sifted through the rubble from strikes as trucks and carts stacked high with displaced families’ possessions rolled down the street.

“You can see the destruction. This room was inhabited by people, this one was inhabited by 20 children, women and men, and the same thing goes for the neighbouring houses in the whole camp,” resident Mohamad Ramadan told AFP, gesturing at a destroyed home where he said several people had been killed.

“These men can still find some of their body parts, nothing but remains torn apart,” he added.
