‘There’s nothing, no apartment, no furniture, only destruction’
Some residents returned to Hamad City in Khan Younis, crunching on rubble as they walked between destroyed apartment buildings. One multistorey building’s entire wall was gone, its rooms framing residents picking through debris.
“There is nothing, no apartment, no furniture, no homes, only destruction,” Neveen Kheder told The Associated Press. “We are dying slowly. You know what, if they gave a mercy bullet, it would be better than what is happening to us.”

They ‘could have been saved’: UN on Israel delaying access to bombed home
Earlier, we reported on the UN’s Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) saying that Israeli authorities prevented a rescue operation at a bombed building in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis for three days.
There were 10 people inside the destroyed building, including five between the ages of four and six, according to Scott Anderson, OCHA’s deputy humanitarian coordinator for Gaza.
“So, it’s a lot of people that were innocent, just trying to find shelter from the conflict and lost their lives here. And the worst part of this is that some of these lives could have been saved,” he said.
