The strikes continue, and the misery and the tragedies that they create continue to make Palestinians’ lives in the Gaza Strip difficult, Al Jazeera reports.

“Within the past few minutes, I spoke with a civil defence crew member who was evacuating people from Khan Younis, from the vicinity of Nasser Hospital to Rafah,” says Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud.

“He described to us the moment when a group of people, women, children and men, queuing in line to get water from an area that’s very close — about five minutes away from Nasser hospital — were targeted by multiple tank shells as they were queuing,” he says.

“He described the scene as “very bloody and shockingly graphic” as children were thrown at the side of the streets and blood was everywhere,” he adds.

People who are trying to get their basic needs are being targeted, says Mahmoud.
