Israel’s relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip has hit areas it had
told Palestinians to evacuate to in the territory’s south.

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.

Gaza residents “are being told to move like human pinballs –
ricocheting between ever-smaller slivers of the south, without any of
the basics for survival,” Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the
UN Security Council before Friday’s vote.

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.

Dozens of people held funeral prayers in the hospital’s courtyard
before taking the bodies for burial – a scene that has become routine
over the past two months of war.

In the southern city of Khan Younis, which has been the focus of
Israel’s military operations over the past week, the Nasser Hospital
received the bodies of 62 people, the ministry said.

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.

With the war now in its third month, the death toll in Gaza has
surpassed 17,700.
