Gaza Death Toll Tops 25,000; Families Burying Deceased in Nasser Hospital Complex
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Gaza, the death toll from Israel's 15-week war has topped 25,000,
with at least 190 Palestinians killed over the last 24 hours. There are
reports Israel is blowing up entire neighborhoods in the besieged city
of Khan Younis, where Israel has targeted hospitals, ambulances and
schools. Palestinian families in Khan Younis are now burying loved ones
inside the Nasser Hospital complex.

Abdelkarim Ahmad: "Currently, dead bodies are being buried here inside
Nasser complex. It's very difficult to leave the complex and go to any
cemetery and bury them, because we're under siege and anyone who leaves
the complex is targeted. Last night we lived through a horrifying night.
The shelling wouldn't stop for even one minute. Buildings would shake
with us inside. Shrapnel would fall on us."
