Several bodies, wrapped in white shrouds, were laid at the morgue of Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital, an AFP journalist reports, after an Israeli attack on a school-turned-shelter killed 17 people.

The wounded were also being treated at the facility.

At the hospital, women were seen weeping over the body of a child wrapped in a white shroud. Grieving relatives carried the bodies of their loved ones for burial, including those of children, while women wept nearby.

“We want nothing more than for the war to end, so we can live like people in the rest of the world,” said Walid al-Najjar, a resident of Khan Younis after a strike in the area.

“We are a people who are poor, devastated — our lives are lost.”
