8:09Now PlayingThe Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip has seen its bloodiest day so far, bringing the Palestinian death toll to more than 500. More than 100 Palestinians were killed in a 24hour period between Saturday and Sunday nights. The dead include 72 residents of one of Gaza's poorest and most densely populated neighborhoods. In the single worst attack to date, Israeli forces shelled homes and fought militants in Shejaiya, leaving behind a scene of carnage that survivors called a massacre. Frightened civilians fled along streets strewn with dead bodies. Wounded residents bled to death in their homes. An unconfirmed report said more than 20 children and 14 women were killed. Scores of homes were destroyed. Hundreds of people were wounded and taken to the overrun Shifa hospital, which struggled to find room for the bodies. U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Kimoon has condemned the attack on Shejaiya as an "atrocious action." The fighting in Shejaeya killed 13 Israeli soldiers, bring the Israeli military toll to 18 since the ground invasion began last week. Joining us from Gaza City, Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous details the assault on Shejaeya and describes a new Israeli strike that killed 24 members of the Abu Jamaa family in Khan Yunis. Kouddous photographed their bodies collected together inside a local morgue.
