Gaza death toll tops 22,600 as Israel intensifies attacks on refugee camps

In Gaza, the death toll from Israel’s 90-day bombardment has topped 22,600, with another 7,000 people reported missing and presumed dead.  

Health officials in Gaza say Israel killed at least 162 Palestinians over the past 24 hours as the IDF intensifies its attacks on refugee camps in central and south Gaza — areas once deemed by Israel to be safe zones.  

Doctors in Gaza described horrific conditions inside the few hospitals still open.  Yasser Khan is a Canadian ophthalmologist who is working in the European Hospital in Khan Younis.  He told reporters: “Almost every hour someone is coming in with an explosive injury or a serious injury.  People are losing their legs, their eyes, their lives.  And the people, the healthcare workers that are working here 24 hours every single day with nothing, with no resources, nothing, no medications, anesthetics.  Everything is out.”
