Israeli tanks have bombarded areas around two hospitals in Gaza's main southern city of Khan Younis, killing at least 50 people among thousands who had queued up for food.
Gaza’s health ministry said Thursday at least 20 were killed and 150 others wounded at Kuwait Roundabout east of the Zeitoun neighborhood when Israeli tanks fired shells and live rounds.
The victims were taken to al-Shifa Hospital, which is out of medical supplies and only has a few doctors working. The death number is likely to rise as scores have suffered serious injuries.
Israeli shelling has intensified around besieged hospitals and shelters in the southern city of Khan Younis, which has already been the focus of the regime’s airstrikes. The health ministry says the hospitals have run out of anesthesia drugs, painkillers, and food.
