"We were sitting in our homes, safe, and we were surprised by a belt of fire that hit the entire area. This house is full of children, and the house next door is my uncle's house and it was full of children. This street in which you stand, children were playing in the street. The street is always full of people. When they hit this house, they hit civilians. All those we took out (removed from under the rubble) were women, children, boys and the elderly. What is left? Where can we go?"

STORYLINE:
Bodies were recovered from under the rubble of a building hit by an Israeli airstrike on Khan Younis on Friday.
Rescue services and neighbours removed the bodies of the victims, while others managed to escape the damaged buildings, carrying injured children with them.
"We were sitting in our homes, safe, and we were surprised by a belt of fire that hit the entire area. This house is full of children," said Marwan Abu Samhan standing next to the damaged buildings in the city located in the southern Gaza Strip. "
What is left? Where can we go?" he asked.
Israel has designated a safe zone in southern Gaza, but its widening air and ground offensive has left Palestinians packed together in dire humanitarian conditions.
United Nations monitors said Thursday that a hospital in the southern town of Khan Younis received its first delivery of supplies since November 29. Aid groups are severely limited by fighting and restrictions placed by the military.
The United Nations estimates 1.9 million people have been displaced and new military evacuation orders are squeezing people into ever-smaller areas. Most lack food, water and medicine.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said the death toll in the territory has surpassed 17,100, with more than 46,000 wounded. The ministry does not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths, but said 70% of the dead were women and children.
Around 1,200 people have died on the Israeli side, mainly civilians killed during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war.
