Palestinians in Gaza's Khan Younis rushed into Nasser hospital on Tuesday (May 20), carrying casualties on carts and stretchers following Israeli strikes.

Israeli air strikes killed at least 50 Palestinians in Gaza on Tuesday, local health authorities said, as Israel continues its bombardment despite mounting international pressure to stop military operations and allow aid into Gaza unimpeded.

The attacks were carried out on two homes, where women and children were among the 18 dead, and a school housing displaced families, among other areas, according to Gaza medics.

Israel's military, which on Monday (May 29) warned those in the southern Gazan city of Khan Younis to evacuate to the coast as it prepared for an "unprecedented attack," had no immediate comment.

Tuesday's strikes were carried out on Khan Younis and areas to the north, including Deir al-Balah, Nuseirat, Jabalia, and Gaza City, the medics said.

Israeli strikes have killed more than 500 people in the past eight days as the military campaign has intensified, they say.

The Israeli military says it goes to great lengths to avoid civilian casualties. It says Hamas uses Gaza's civilians as human shields by operating within densely populated areas, humanitarian zones, schools and hospitals, which Hamas denies.

Israel's ground and air war has devastated Gaza, displacing nearly all its residents and killing more than 53,000 people, many of them civilians, according to Gaza health authorities.

The war erupted after Hamas-led militants attacked Israeli communities near Gaza's border on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and seizing 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
