Tens of displaced Palestinians who had taken shelter in the MSF building from Israeli bombardment on Khan Younis fled the area to a nearby beach.

“While details are still emerging, ambulance crews have now reached the site, where at least two family members of our colleagues have been killed and six people wounded. We are horrified by what has occurred," the group said in a post on X.
