'Clear targeting of children'
Yosri al-Ghar, a survivor of the overnight Israeli bombardment, said the air strikes killed his pregnant sister, her husband and three of their children. Their fourth child is in serious condition.
He described the area as once being considered safe, far from the border, where life had been normal.
"The strike was direct, with no warnings," Ghar told Middle East Eye outside the war-battered Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
"It was a clear targeting of civilians, including children. The attack was absolutely barbaric."
He expressed deep frustration over the lack of global response.
"There's no world, no Arab world, or even Islamic world, speaking out. If a kitten were killed, the world would have protested, but instead, the silence is deafening."

At least seven Palestinians killed in air strike in designated 'safe zone'
At least seven Palestinian civilians have been killed and several others injured on Monday when an Israeli drone strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis, according to a report by Wafa news agency. The tent was in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, which has been designated as a "safe zone" for Palestinians displaced by Israel. Al-Mawasi is a 10-mile strip of farmland that stretches along the Mediterranean coast, with dunes and a beach close to the sea. It was first designated as a 'safe zone' by the Israeli military in early December. Wafa also reported that Israeli attacks have killed at least 51 Palestinians on Monday.
