Gaza Health Ministry says at least 20 people killed and many more injured in a deadly Israeli army attack near El Amal City Hospital in Khan Younis.
The ministry says 195 people were killed and 325 injured in the past 24 hours.
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres has appointed Sigrid Kaag as Gaza’s aid coordinator, but the path ahead for humanitarian relief remains difficult with no breaks in fighting.
Herzi Halevi, the Israeli forces’ chief of staff, says the war on Gaza will continue for “many months”.
In Gaza, at least 21,110 people have been killed and 55,243 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 7. The revised death toll from Hamas’s attack on Israel stands at 1,139.
