The Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City received 11 bodies from Israeli strikes, including three women and four children. 

One of the strikes killed two children, their parents, their grandmother and their uncle.

The Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis received seven bodies from strikes overnight into Monday and four from strikes the previous day. 

The European Hospital received three bodies from a strike near Khan Younis.

The Palestinian health ministry said Monday that 730 people had been killed since Israel resumed bombardments on the Palestinian territory on March 18, including 57 in the past 24 hours.

It also said Sunday that the Palestinian death toll from the 17-month Israeli war has passed 50,000. 

Women and children make up more than half the dead.
