An Israeli airstrike hit a residential building next to the main medical center in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, killing at least seven people, hospital officials and witnesses said.
As dust from Wednesday’s strike swirled through a street near Nasser Hospital, people ran in all directions, some toward the destruction and others away. Later, civil defense workers and bystanders picked their way over chunks of cement and twisted metal, searching for people who might have been buried.
Nasser Hospital is located in the western part of the city. There have been repeated attacks on Khan Younis, Rafah and al-Mawasi in the south of the enclave, all of which were previously designated by Israel as humanitarian “safe zones.”
According to the United Nations, the Israeli military this week ordered the evacuation of Khan Younis, Gaza’s second-largest city, affecting some 250,000 people.
Displaced families evicted from eastern Khan Younis are struggling to find a place to live in overcrowded shelters and open areas in the west of the city. Wednesday’s airstrike hit an area that includes a school that has been converted into a shelter for displaced people, many of whom are living in makeshift tents.
“We were in a tent, three people, and we were surprised by the rubble and the dust,” said Jalal Lafi, who was displaced from Rafah.
“The house was bombed without any warning, hit by two missiles in a row, one after the other,” he said, looking over his shoulder at the rubble, his hair and clothes covered in gray soot.
Andrea De Domenico, the head of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in the occupied Palestinian territories, said Gaza was “the only place in the world where people cannot find safe refuge and leave the frontline.” Even in so-called safe areas, there is bombing, he told reporters on Wednesday.
An Israeli airstrike killed a prominent Palestinian doctor and eight members of his extended family on Tuesday, hours after they obeyed military orders to leave their home and move to an Israeli-designated safe zone.
The European Hospital in Khan Younis has been rendered inoperable after Israeli forces bombed several areas there, forcing medical staff to evacuate patients and relocate remaining equipment and devices, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, only 15 of the 36 hospitals are still partially operational.
De Domenico said: “At this point, we estimate that nine out of ten people in the Gaza Strip have been displaced at least once, and unfortunately even ten times, since October.”
He said 1.9 million people had been “multiple times internally displaced”.
The amount of food and other supplies reaching Gaza has declined sharply since the Israeli offensive on Rafah began two months ago, leading to widespread hunger and fear of famine.
“It’s an unbearable life,” said Anwar Salman, a displaced Palestinian. “If they want to kill us, let them. Let them drop a nuclear bomb and finish us off. We’re fed up. We’re tired. We’re dying every day.”
