Hospitals in Gaza hampered by months of Israeli attacks and blockade struggle to treat patients as death toll mounts.
Israeli attacks in southern Gaza have killed at least five Palestinians and injured dozens, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.
Monday’s attacks on Rafah and Khan Younis have wounded at least 30 people, Wafa said.
The casualties have been brought to the Nasser Medical Complex, but electricity shutdowns there could make it difficult for the injured to receive treatment, according to the report.
Palestinian officials said 40 bodies arrived at hospitals over the previous 24 hours, bringing the total number of people killed in Gaza since October 7 to 37,124 with more than 84,700 injured. Thousands more dead are believed to be buried under rubble in the devastated enclave.
In Rafah, the city on the southern edge of Gaza where Israel launched a ground offensive last month, residents said on Monday that tanks had been thrusting deeper towards the north in the early hours of the morning. They were on the edge of Shaboura, one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the heart of the city.
