Palestinians inspect the rubble of homes destroyed by Israeli airstrikes in Jabalia, northern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
Multiple airstrikes hit Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis overnight on Thursday, killing more than 50 people in a second.
Another airstrike in the north of the Palestinian territory left more than a dozen people dead because of heavy bombing, authorities said.
An Associated Press cameraman in Khan Younis counted 10 airstrikes on the city, and saw numerous bodies taken to the morgue in the city’s Nasser Hospital. It took time to identify some of the bodies due to the extent of their injuries. The hospital’s morgue confirmed 54 people had been killed.
Witnesses to an Israeli attack on a medical clinic in the Jabalia refugee camp on Thursday said patients were “torn apart” on the upper floor of the al-Tawbah clinic, and among them 13 children were killed.
Around 143 more Palestinians were killed in Gaza in a day due to Israeli attacks. This has brought the total death toll over 53,000 on thursday, reports Al Jazeera.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 53,010 Palestinians and wounded 119,919, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Government Media Office updated the death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of people were missing under the rubble.
