STORYLINE:
Palestinian mourners in Gaza grieved loved ones on Saturday who were killed by multiple Israeli strikes in the southern city of Khan Younis.
At least 36 Palestinians were killed, officials said, even as preparations moved ahead for high-level cease-fire talks in the Egyptian capital.
Eleven members of the same family were among the dead, including two children who were killed in an Israeli airstrike that hit their home in Khan Younis early Saturday, according to the Nasser Hospital, where the bodies and wounded were taken.
Overall the hospital received the bodies of at least 33 people who were killed in three separate strikes in and around Khan Younis.
The city's Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said it had received another three bodies.
Seventeen others were killed when a strike hit a road south of Khan Younis, including the passengers on a tuk-tuk and passers-by, Nasser Hospital said.
Another strike hit a tuk-tuk east of Khan Younis, killing at least five people.
First responders also recovered the bodies of 10 people from a residential block west of Khan Younis.
The circumstances of their death were not immediately available, the hospital said, but it was an area repeatedly bombed by the Israeli military over the past week.
An Associated Press journalist at the hospital counted the bodies and filmed a funeral service for the dead in the hospital's courtyard.
