People work to move bodies of Palestinians killed during Israel's military offensive and buried at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on April 21, 2024.
Israeli troops fought their way back into an eastern section of Khan Younis in a surprise raid, residents said on Monday, sending people who had returned to abandoned homes in the ruins of the southern Gaza Strip's main city fleeing once more.Thomson ReutersPeople work to move bodies of Palestinians killed during Israel's military offensive and buried at Nasser hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday.
Gaza authorities say the bodies recovered so far are from just one of at least three mass graves they have found at the site. "My young daughter asked me to visit the grave of her father. I would tell her that as soon as we bury him, we will visit him. Thank God. The scene is tough, but we might find some relief after burying him," said his wife Soumaya.
Israel abruptly pulled most of its ground troops out of the southern Gaza Strip this month after some of the most intense fighting of the seven-month-old war. Residents have begun making their way home to previously inaccessible neighbourhoods of what had been the enclave's second-biggest city, finding homes reduced to rubble and unrecovered dead in the streets.
