STORYLINE:
Israeli strikes across Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis killed 22 people, including two children, and injured 90 others since early morning Wednesday, according to Nasser Hospital where the bodies were taken.
Eight of the those killed were sheltering in tents when they were hit, and five others were killed while trying to get aid, according to the hospital records obtained by an AP journalist.
Dozens gathered at Nasser Hospital to mourn their loved ones, including Ahmed Abu Rizk, a boy who cried and yelled in disbelief that he lost his father when they were getting food at an aid distribution center in Rafah where he was fatally shot.
Meanwhile in Gaza City, Al-Quds Hospital received the bodies of four people and treated more than 54 wounded Wednesday morning following Israeli shelling across neighborhoods in the city, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that hospitals across the Gaza Strip took in 144 bodies and treated 560 injured individuals within a 24-hour period.
Israel’s military campaign since October 2023 has killed over 55,300 Palestinians, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. Its count doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Israel launched its campaign aiming to destroy Hamas after the group’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel, in which militants killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking another 251 hostage.
