the main focus of the israeli military offensive remains here, in khan younis, seen as a stronghold ofe city's recently been pounded by israeli strikes, with tanks now close to three of the city's hospitals. israel says it's killed dozens of terrorists here in the past day. but the casualties also include women and children. doctors are struggling. translation: i am telling you that the hospital- is on the brink of collapse. we have all collapsed. the hospital is short of medical staff and supplies. nothing is reaching us. here the dead have been buried with little ceremony in the hospital yard because it's too dangerous to head to the cemetery. and as the body bags continue to arrive, israel says it will not stop fighting in gaza until there is an absolute victory. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. noga tarnopolsky is a journalist based injerusalem, and told me how news of the soldiers' deaths is being covered by the israeli media. the coverage has been basically blanket coverage and very, very personal. i think it is fair to say that news reports here have been taken over by speaki

ahmad, in khan younis, said 95% of staff fled toraffah.many people are taking refuge in nasser hospital in addition to the wounded? how many dead bodies are piling up? how many medical staff are left? >> that is something that was noticeably thinning every day the military sought was taking place in khan younis, more and more staff had to lead to take care of their families and make sure they were safe. you can say there was probably two dozen in terms of medical staff and doctors as well as nurses. i want to point out that of these physicians or nurses have been paid for the last four months. they received one payment of $200 in november. otherwise, they are essentially volunteering. in the process, many have been subjected to violence, have been killed. many have been arrested. that was one of the concerns when we were in khan younis and there were serious intense bombings taking place is you saw there was this tension that existed. i remember trying to say, i think the hospital should be safe. they quickly said, what would you make you

khan younis is extremely overpopulated. when you target one house in a specific area, is that means you're are likely to affect around 20 to 30 houses because the areas are very narrow and the space is limited for every house. it means that the explosion would reach for the secondary wave of explosion would reach 20 to 30 houses. amy: did you know the reporters killed most recently? the numbers are astonishing. the committee to protect journalists or reporters without borders, are all decrying the number ranging between 80 and 120. at the latest telling of journalists, for example, wael's son hamza. did you knowmoustafa? i know wael has just gotten out of gaza and he is now -- has not been operated on in qatar, now at al jazeera headquarters. his cameraman who died in the attack. these reporters, where they friends of yours? i think we have just lost akram al-satarri. amazing we were able to maintain that length of time in speaking to him in gaza. he was speaking to us from rafah . akram al-satarri is a gaza-based journalis

tue: never specified khan younis as centre of cynthia's fighting?ed khan younis as a safe area because that is the home city of some of the top hamas commanders including the hamas leader in gaza who the israelis are actively looking for. at an area just west of khan younis which was designated a safe area has also seen fighting recently, so as many people have said, there is no safe area in gaza any more. khan is also a place where there are three hospitals which are still partly functioning. two thirds of the hospitals in gaza are completely out of operation, only a third are still partly functioning about has also been intense fighting. the largest hospital remaining in the south has been completely blockaded. the aid agency medecins sans frontiers is 850 patients and staff, along with thousands of people sheltering in the grounds of that hospital, are blockaded and unable to leave at the israeli army has ordered the evacuation of at least half a million people, has ordered them to move said —— further south, so intense fighting as the israelis t

the us responded with a statement from a national security council spokesperson, saying: khan younises to be at the heart of the violence. 0ur correspondent mark lowen has more from jerusalem. now, this is a city in southern gaza where authorities have issued evacuation orders for three parts of the city thought to contain more than 500,000 people and there is intense fighting around three hospitals and khan younis, the aid agency doctors without borders says that 850 medics and patients and thousands more staff, people sheltering in the grounds of nasser hospital can't leave because of the intensity of the fighting. israel believes that khan younis is where top hamas commanders are holed up in or beneath the city, it is the birthplace of the leader of hamas in gaza, yayha sinwar, israel's most wanted, and more than three months in to this war, israel is under mounting pressure to show tangible progress for the war, and they've got about 100 hostages back on the deal back in november. there is still 130 that are not back, possibly 30, says israel. crucially, they have not yet killed

what we have seen now in khan younis and what we saw sadly almost two months ago in gaza city when weclose after ten days of siege, no food, water or medicine, we had to close the hospital and evacuate people from there. we hope we will not arrive at this point but even in the hospital, medicine is running out, fuel is already almost running out so there are only some areas of the hospital served by electricity where there is a life—saving activities and there is an issue of food and water for the patients, for the people seeking refuge, but even doctors and nurses who are affected themselves by this conflict, so the situation is really dire. that was tommasso della longa. well, earlier i spoke about all of this with tal heinrich, a spokesperson for the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. i first want to get your reaction to the un saying that one of its facilities sheltering palestinians was hit by tank shells and that this killed at least nine people. thank you for having me on. i don't have details about this particular incident. i know that the idf is investigating. they ar

there is intense bombardment around khan younis which is where israel believes the top commanders ofsing around a couple of hospitals in the south, —— are hold up. the medics inside one hospital and another one has been surrounded, we understand, by israeli tanks, and israel insists the medical facilities are being used by hamas to launch attacks against israeli soldiers, something denied by the medics and by the authorities in gaza. there is a real sense that the south remains the focus of the military activity on that front from khan younis, more refugees are moving further south to rafah on the border with egypt which is where most are taking refuge, a city which had a population of around 280,000 but now has 1.3 million, 1.4 million people, sheltering there, which gives you a sense of the inundation of people who have gone down to rafah we estimate around 75% of khan younis which is the main city in southern gaza is now under israeli control. ., southern gaza is now under israeli control. . ., ., , i spoke to moshe lavi — his brother—in—law is a hostage in gaza. i started by aski

so over the past couple of days, israeli forces have really pushed in to the west of khan younis.re a senior un official has really raised a lot of concerns in his latest statement, talking about how there were three hospitals in the area that have been badly affected. one of them in the al mossi coastal area, previously described as being a safe zone by israel, had to be evacuated overnight. and the israeli military said that it has encountered, it's killed a number of terrorists in that area, to use its words. but it also acknowledges that this is an area where there is a very high number of civilians because, of course, in the early stages of the war, people were told to relocate from the north of the gaza strip down to the south. now you have actually a majority of the population of gaza, 2.3 million people are squeezed down into this area. khan yunis is the biggest city in the south. people have been trying to make their way. we've seen that this morning once again on the road from khan yunis going south towards rafah after israel issued new evacuation orders. but many people

the bombardment came across the territory, including the southern areas of khan younis and rafah and where israel had told gazans they would be safe. gaza's health ministry, which is run by hamas, says 162 palestinians have been killed in the last day, with almost 300 injured. many people are continuing to flee from the fighting. these pictures show people leaving the nuseirat and maghazi refugee camps in the central part of gaza, apparently heading south towards khan younis and rafah. let's hear now from yasser khan, a canadian doctor working in gaza, at the european hospital in khan younis, who spoke to journalists from the reuters news agency. almost every hour, someone's coming in with an explosive injury or a serious injury. people are losing their legs, their eyes, their lives. all the cases that we've seen are all explosive—related, and all are because of explosive, whether it's artillery or it's bombs. and so all the injuries are very severe. many of them are life—threatening. people lose their lives. the constant sound of drones day and night in the air is always there. it's
