Gaza death toll tops 25,000; families burying deceased in Nasser Hospital complex

In Gaza, the death toll from Israel’s 15-week war has topped 25,000, with at least 190 Palestinians killed over the last 24 hours. 

There are reports Israel is blowing up entire neighborhoods in the besieged city of Khan Younis, where Israel has targeted hospitals, ambulances and schools. 

Palestinian families in Khan Younis are now burying loved ones inside the Nasser Hospital complex.  One local resident, Abdelkarim Ahmad, told reporters: “Currently, dead bodies are being buried here inside Nasser complex.  It’s very difficult to leave the complex and go to any cemetery and bury them, because we’re under siege and anyone who leaves the complex is targeted.  Last night, we lived through a horrifying night.  The shelling wouldn’t stop for even one minute.  Buildings would shake with us inside. Shrapnel would fall on us.”
