At Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, young men carried bodies, and hungry children cried out in front of corpses wrapped in white shrouds laying on the ground, bidding them farewell for the last time.

“We received a call that there were a large number of martyrs and injuries at the aid distribution center in Rafah,” explained Ezzedine Abu Subha, a civil defense…
