The worst of what happened last night seemed to be in Khan Younis. Massive air strikes pounded homes there belonging to the same family, killing 18 people, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

Air strikes and heavy artillery shelling also took place in the eastern part of Deir el-Baleh and Nuseirat refugee camp.

We’re looking at a total of 35 people killed from the overnight strikes in these central areas, the largest toll of the last few days. More than 60 critically injured were also brought to al-Aqsa Hospital, putting more pressure on the already overwhelmed health facility.

There are people laying on the floor of the hospital waiting to be treated. The medical staff is exhausted.
