Dozens killed in southern Gaza attack as UN rights chief warns of ‘atrocity crimes’ in Israel’s offensive in north.
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in southern Gaza, health officials said, as the UN rights chief warned that the “darkest moment” of Israel’s assault on Gaza was unfolding in the north of the besieged territory.
Women and children were among at least 38 people killed in Israeli air attacks that hit several houses in Khan Younis on Friday, health authorities said.
Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, said images showing the scene of the attack in Khan Younis “are disturbing, with many bodies lying on the ground in Nasser Hospital while parents and relatives bid farewell to the victims who have been transferred for burial.”
Ahmed Sobh recounted how his cousin had screamed, “Help me, help me”.
“We ran and found her children, a boy and a girl, martyred. Her son was lying under the concrete column, it took us 1.5 hours to get him out,” he told the Reuters news agency.
