At least 65 people have been killed since this morning's dawn strike on Gaza City's Shijaiyah neighbourhood - including the son, daughter-in-law and two small grandchildren of a senior Hamas leader. The neighbourhood has come under heavy tank fire as Israel widened its ground offensive against Hamas, causing hundreds of residents to flee. The dead and wounded - including dozens of women and children - have reportedly been left in streets, with ambulances unable to approach. Early this morning, the wounded from Shijaiyah were rushed to Gaza City's central Shifa Hospital. Frantic parents carried children wounded by shrapnel and the emergency room quickly overflowed, forcing doctors to treat some patients on mattresses in a hallway.
