In pictures: Palestinians mourn in Nasser hospital as Israel bombs Khan Younis

Palestinians woke up to more death and destruction as Israel continued its bombardment of the Gaza Strip after the US blocked a ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council.

Overnight, Israeli warplanes targeted dozens of areas in southern Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians had fled after Israel told them to evacuate to areas near the Rafah crossing with Egypt.

Many Palestinians are now sheltering in the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, where the injured and dead have been taken, after Israel destroyed most of Gaza's medical facilities.
