An Israeli strike on a humanitarian zone in southern Gaza left a giant crater in the ground where several Palestinian families had been living in tents. Nineteen people have been confirmed dead, with many more missing as emergency workers continue the search for survivors in the rubble. The World’s Matthew Bell has an update on the latest news, as well as perspectives on the growing loss of civilian life in Gaza, even in so-called “safe zones.”
