In pictures: Israeli bloodbath creates an army of wounded in Gaza
Israeli invasion from land, air and sea has left more than 17,400 Palestinians dead and wounded over 46,000 residents, mostly women and children. Here are the pictures of Gaza's newly-wounded residents:

The bloodiest ever war Israel has unleashed on besieged Gaza, now in its third month, has taken the death toll in the Palestinian enclave soaring above 17,400, mostly women and children.
The indiscriminate Israeli bombardment on schools, health centres, hospitals, markets, churches, mosques, residential neighbourhoods and elsewhere in the tiny coastal enclave has also left over 46,000 Palestinians wounded, with thousands feared trapped and buried under the debris of flattened buildings.
TRT World has chosen to publish blurred versions of some of the images to show the horrors of new Israeli bloodbath in Gaza:
Israel has sharply increased strikes on Gaza, pounding the length of the Palestinian enclave and killing and wounding hundreds in a new, expanded phase of the war.
Four-fifths of Gaza residents have now been displaced, many of them several times over. Their homes, businesses, mosques and schools have been damaged, destroyed or abandoned as too dangerous in the face of the Israeli assault.
With no real sign of any imminent respite, Palestinians are living with little food or clean water, often on the street, trying to calm screaming children at night as bombs and shells fall.
Most Gaza residents are descended from refugees who fled or were forced from their homes in what is now Israel during the war of 1948. Many are terrified they will end up as refugees again, forced from Gaza altogether.

With most Gaza residents now displaced and unable to access any aid, hospitals overrun and food running out, the main UN agency there said society was "on the verge of a full-blown collapse" .
More strikes were reported on Friday morning in Khan Younis in the south, the Nusseirat camp in the centre and Gaza City in the north.
Palestinians killed in Israeli attack are brought to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. Journalists in southern Gaza have seen dead and wounded swamping the main Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, where there was no room on the floor for arriving patients sprawled across blood-smeared tiles.
