It was a chaotic scene outside the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Tuesday, as cars rushed by transporting the dead and wounded from an Israeli airstrike that hit the Al-Awda school, once a place of refuge for Palestinian families in Gaza.
The screams of survivors pierced through the chaos. People carried the injured — children and adults alike — from cars into the overcrowded hospital.
