00:00Bodies continue to arrive at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunus.

00:05But there is nowhere further for them to go.

00:08According to the undertaker, Israeli defense forces are demolishing and guarding the local

00:12cemeteries.

00:14And soon he may be forced to dig mass graves.

00:17There is no place in Khan Yunus where we can go to the cemetery because the occupation

00:22army is in the cemetery and we're afraid to go there because of the danger.

00:27The fridges are filled with martyrs.

00:28Father, give me a solution.

00:31Where can I bury them?

00:34But the situation is unlikely to improve soon.

00:37Israel continued its deadly attacks on the enclave overnight.

00:41Here in Gaza City, locals say they were sheltering at home when without warning, the building

00:46collapsed around them.

00:49We found the martyrs lying here and people mutilated, some with their feet gone, others

00:54with their hands gone.

00:57On Friday, a spokesperson for the United Nations reiterated their ongoing concerns about whether

01:02Israel operations are respecting the principles of international humanitarian law.

01:07She said that almost 800 people have been killed while trying to access aid since May 26th, most

01:14people have been killed by gunshot injuries at the Israel-backed, U.S.-run Gaza Humanitarian

01:18Foundation sites.

01:19Where people are lining up for essential supplies such as food and medicine and where they are

01:26being attacked, where again, as my colleagues have said, they have a choice between being

01:29shot or being fed.

01:31This is unacceptable and it's continuing.

01:33The Israeli army said it had conducted thorough examinations into incidents where civilians

01:37were harmed at distribution points and that it had learned lessons and issued instructions

01:43to its forces.
