Israel\u2019s relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip has hit areas it had told Palestinians to evacuate to in the territory\u2019s south.<\/p>\n
The strikes came a day after the United States vetoed a United Nations resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, despite its wide support.<\/p>\n
Gaza residents \u201care being told to move like human pinballs \u2013 ricocheting between ever-smaller slivers of the south, without any of the basics for survival,\u201d Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UN Security Council before Friday\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n
Two hospitals in central and southern Gaza received 133 bodies of Palestinians killed in Israeli bombings over the past 24 hours, health ministry officials in Gaza said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Dozens of people held funeral prayers in the hospital\u2019s courtyard before taking the bodies for burial \u2013 a scene that has become routine over the past two months of war.<\/p>\n
In the southern city of Khan Younis, which has been the focus of Israel\u2019s military operations over the past week, the Nasser Hospital received the bodies of 62 people, the ministry said.<\/p>\n
More than 2,200 Palestinians have been killed since the December 1 collapse of a weeklong truce, about two-thirds of them women and children.<\/p>\n
With the war now in its third month, the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 17,700.<\/p>\n
