As Israel continues its massive air and ground offensive in Gaza, its forces pushed further south on Sunday into Khan Yunis and Rafah near the Egyptian border. With few safe refuge options left, over 17,700 displaced Gaza civilians, mainly women and children, have flooded local hospitals. Gaza's health ministry reported over 130 bodies arrived at just two hospitals in one day amid intense bombardment. Aid groups warn of an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, calling the situation "apocalyptic" with severe shortages of water, food and medicine. Israel has vowed to root out Hamas militants who killed over 1,200 Israelis in October border attacks. But children now endure "another death sentence" per UNICEF as Gaza verges on healthcare system collapse.
