Numerous deaths reported as fighting rages in Khan Younis, Gaza

Many people were killed in strong Israeli attacks in Khan Younis in Gaza. There are fights between soldiers and Hamas fighters on the ground.

The people who live here said big military machines are all around a hospital and school where lots of homeless people are staying.

Ambulances couldn’t get to the injured people because they were stuck.

Israeli soldiers have been paying special attention to Khan Younis because they believe that important Hamas leaders are hiding there.

On Sunday, the Israeli military found a hidden place underground in the city. They think about 20 Israeli hostages were kept there.

In Israel, families of hostages interrupted a meeting to ask the government to help get their loved ones back.

A family member yelled, “We won’t stop until our kids are home. ”

The US, Qatar, and Egypt are trying to help, but Hamas wants Israel to stop fighting and leave before they release the hostages.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said no to the deal because he thinks it would be giving in to bad people and would mean that soldiers who died in war did so for no reason.

On Monday evening, the US news website Axios reported that two US officials said Israel offered a deal to Hamas. The deal included a two-month break from fighting in exchange for releasing all remaining hostages in Gaza.

Hamas fighters held about 250 people captive and killed 1,300 others in a surprise attack on southern Israel, according to Israeli officials.

The Israeli military attacked Gaza and more than 25,295 people have died, according to the health ministry in Gaza. More people are thought to have died under the collapsed buildings.

On Monday, Israeli tanks moved into the western part of Khan Younis and surrounded the city’s two main hospitals after a night of heavy bombing.

The Red Crescent in Palestine says that Israeli forces have surrounded the area where they run a hospital and their headquarters. They are worried about the safety of their staff, patients, and civilians in the area.

The place is very unsafe now. “They can hear loud bombs in the area,” said Nebal Farsakh on Al Jazeera TV. “Anyone who tries to leave or go outside is at risk of being targeted. ”

She said that PRCS ambulances were stuck and couldn’t help injured people in the area. Also, a communication problem meant that staff could only talk to each other using VHF radios.

There was smoke and gun sounds near Nasser Hospital, which is the biggest hospital still in use in Gaza.

The hospital’s surgical director in Palestinian media said they got 50 dead and over 100 injured since last night.

Gaza’s health department said many people were killed or hurt near Khan Younis on Monday. They had to bury 40 bodies at Nasser Hospital because it wasn’t safe outside.

A doctor at the hospital’s emergency department told Reuters that the hospital was facing too many patients and was in danger of collapsing.

Ahmed Abu Mustafa said it’s really hard to bring medical supplies to the hospital, and it’s hard to keep treating the patients because of the attacks on the nearby neighborhoods. He also said there are no painkillers, anaesthesia, or other medical supplies available.

A spokesperson from the health ministry said that Israeli soldiers went into the al-Khair Hospital in the al-Mawasi area, which is west of Khan Younis.

On Monday, a spokesperson from the White House National Security Council said that Israel must do everything it can to keep innocent people in Gaza hospitals safe, according to international law.

The Israeli military has not said anything yet about the reports from the three hospitals. But, it has said before that Hamas is working near medical buildings, but Hamas says it’s not true.
