KHAN YUNIS, GAZA – MARCH 17: People inspect the damage and extract items from their homes in Hamad Town after their towers were destroyed by Israeli air strikes on March 17, 2024 in Khan Yunis, Gaza. It is the first time in weeks that medical teams have been able to reach the area, with returning residents finding entire buildings levelled. Khan Yunis is the second-largest urban area after Gaza City and is located in the southern Gaza Strip.

According to Gaza's Ministry of Health, 31,553 Palestinians have been killed, and 73,546 wounded in Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza starting on October 7.
