Latest news on the Israeli war against Gaza: Dozens dead, 100,000 displaced in two days | News on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

We previously reported on the announcement by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) that Israeli authorities had prevented a rescue operation from a bombed building in the southern Gaza Strip, Khan Younis, for three days.

There were 10 people in the destroyed building, including five between the ages of four and six, said Scott Anderson, OCHA's deputy humanitarian coordinator for Gaza.

“Many innocent people have lost their lives here trying to find shelter from the conflict. And the worst part is that some of these lives could have been saved,” he said.

The #Gaza Family did not survive under the rubble.

It took three days for rescue teams to gain access to them amid hostilities in the Hamad city of Khan Younis.

The recovery of their bodies began today.
