Palestinian news agency reports Israeli forces dropped white phosphorus bombs on the al-Karama neighbourhood in Gaza — a claim Israel denies. The claim is, however, corroborated by , which says it verified videos taken in the enclave showing multiple airbursts of artillery-fired white phosphorus over the Gaza City port. “White phosphorus, which can be used either for marking, signalling, and obscuring, or as a weapon to set fires that burn people and objects, has a significant incendiary effect that can severely burn people and set structures, fields, and other civilian objects in the vicinity on fire. The use of white phosphorus in Gaza, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, magnifies the risk to civilians and violates the international humanitarian law prohibition on putting civilians at unnecessary risk,” HRW says. The World Health Organisation (WHO) hospitals in Gaza are at a “breaking point”, highlighting that facilities are suffering acute medicinal shortages. “Without the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza — especially health services, medical supplies, food, clean water, fuel, and non-food items — humanitarian and health partners will be unable to respond to urgent needs of people who desperately need it. Each lost hour puts more lives at risk,” it says. Israel residents of Gaza City, home to over a million of the strip’s inhabitants, to evacuate and move southwards “within 24 hours”, which the UN warns could have “devastating humanitarian consequences”. Meanwhile, the WHO says relocating severely ill people would amount to a “death sentence”. that the frequency of Israeli air attacks has increased in the northern part of the enclave where 30 airstrikes were conducted in just an hour. In the south, there are no shelter facilities. Separately, in a post on X, Unicef says victims of Israeli bombing include a large number of children. The UN says an estimated one million Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced in the first week of the war. On the other hand, the health ministry reports that at least 50 families in the enclave have been from the civil registry.

WHO warns there are only “24 hours of water, electricity and fuel left” in the Gaza Strip, which has been blockaded and besieged by Israel following the Hamas attack. Amid the deteriorating conditions, Israeli bombardment continues unabated. a “massive fireball” in Gaza after multiple Israeli air strikes kill several people within the span of just a few hours. As Israel continues its ruthless campaign and the death toll rises, health authorities in the enclave are forced to store bodies of Palestinians in ice cream trucks because moving them to hospitals is “too risky” and cemeteries have no space. Meanwhile, the UN’s humanitarian office says reserves of fuel at hospitals across Gaza are expected to last only around 24 hours, which is life-threatening for the strip’s few functional hospitals. An explosion pierces the night, accompanied by flashes of red. A blast is reported at the in central Gaza, where hundreds of injured and displaced Palestinians are seeking shelter. According to health authorities, at least 500 people are killed. Social media is flooded with images of burning rooms and stretchers laden with mutilated bodies. footage from the scene shows medics and families recovering bodies with bags and blankets. The health ministry in Gaza says an Israeli air raid caused the blast. But Tel Aviv attributes the explosion to a misfired rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The group denies the allegation. As the sun rises above the besieged enclave, smoke rises from the site of the late-night massacre. The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 1,300 people remain missing under the rubble, including 600 children. Meanwhile, Israel continues with the bombardment, hitting a school — where Palestinians seek refuge — in Khan Younis.

Palestinians in East Jerusalem also warn about increasing harassment by Israeli settlers and security forces. A Greek Orthodox church in the Gaza Strip, sheltering hundreds of displaced Palestinians is hit by an Israeli air strike overnight. According to health officials, 16 people are killed. There is no word on the death toll from the Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church though, . “The Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli air strike that has struck its church compound in the city of Gaza,” says the 12th-century church, where at least 500 Muslims and Christians are sheltering. According to , Saint Porphyrius, built in about 1150, is the oldest church in Gaza that is still used. It has offered sanctuary to people of various faiths over generations. But after the Israeli strike, hundreds of injured Palestinians are forced to leave the church, which further exposes them to life-threatening dangers. Israel finally to pass through the Rafah border crossing into Gaza. The amount allowed, however, is only a fraction of what the blockaded enclave needs. To further exacerbate the humanitarian conditions, Israel says the aid will only go to the southern areas and the shipments will not include fuel. Without fuel, hospitals in Gaza are pushed to the brink, with most of them eventually shutting operations in the coming days. These instructions leave hundreds of Palestinians back in north Gaza hungry, without food and water. They also lead to the further overcrowding of the southern side of the enclave, where the bombing is soon coming. Israel continues its in various areas of Gaza, including the densely populated Al-Shati refugee camp, home to 90,100 registered Palestinian refugees. The Palestinian health ministry says dozens were killed in the attack, including women and children. Shelters, hospitals and even UN-run centres — no place is safe in Gaza anymore.

Amid a dire need for medicines, diseases such as chickenpox and scabies now begin to spread across the enclave. , quoting the Palestinian health ministry, says that there are about 155 “unsafe births” in the strip every day, with 5,500 women expected to give birth in the coming months. Palestinian officials say were killed in overnight Israeli air raids on Gaza, the highest 24-hour death toll since Israel began bombing the besieged territory on Oct 7. It adds that the healthcare system in the enclave has collapsed. Separately, the WHO one-third of hospitals in the Gaza Strip are now out of service and some two-thirds of clinics are not functioning. This is a time when the medical burden is enormous, with swathes of patients, injured in Israeli bombings, coming in every hour. Children and women make up for 70pc of the victims. But Israel is not to let a drop of fuel inside Gaza. More warnings follow as Gaza hospitals run out of the last of their fuel reserves. Shifa Hospital’s director, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, as saying that Israel may be using new deadly weapons — illegal as per the international humanitarian law — based on the kind of injuries he has been witnessing. Oxfam, an international aid group, issues a , saying Israel is using starvation as a “weapon of war” against civilians in Gaza. “Just 2pc of the usual food has been delivered to Gaza since the siege was imposed,” it says. “Children are experiencing severe trauma from the constant bombardment, their drinking water is polluted or rationed and soon families may not be able to feed them too,” Oxfam adds. Another surgeon, Dr Ghassan Abu Sitta, says an “unfathomable” number of children in Gaza will need reconstructive surgeries as a result of the injuries caused by Israeli airstrikes. On the other hand, the UN issues a saying “nowhere is safe” in Gaza as Israel steps up air raids in preparation for a ground offensive, which is going to take place within a few hours. “When the evacuation routes are bombed; when people north as well as south are caught up in hostilities; when the essentials for survival are lacking, and when there are no assurances for return, people are left with nothing but impossible choices,” the agency’s humanitarian coordinator says. Israel commences its in Gaza. The bombardment has now reached Khan Younis in the south, where the Israeli forces have instructed Gazans to move. UN that it is not just Israeli bombardment that is wiping out Palestinians, but also Israel’s ongoing siege as basic services in the enclave are “crumbling”; medicines, food and water are running out and streets are flooded with sewerage water. As the clock inches towards Oct 28, Gaza is pitch dark, only lighting up into a ghastly red from the intense Israeli bombing. Internet and mobile services have , cutting off the Palestinian enclave from the rest of the world. Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel, says the bombardment has caused “complete disruption” of internet, cellular and landline services — only some satellite phones continue to function. Even aid agencies fail to reach out to their workers, centres and ambulances. Inside crowded hospitals, bloodied patients are being treated on floors as Israel escalates attacks — which is termed the “heaviest night of bombing”. The strikes are soon targeting the of the Al-Shifa Hospital. “The stench of death is everywhere, in every neighbourhood, every street and every house,” a respiratory surgeon, who finds his injured relatives on stretchers. Deaths in Gaza rise to 8,000 — of which over — after Israel further intensifies its attacks. The toll, according to the , is unprecedented. Israeli military tells Palestinians to move south but continues to bomb there. Meanwhile, residents say warplanes carried out near Gaza’s largest Al-Shifa Hospital, which is packed with hundreds of patients and tens of thousands of Palestinians seeking shelter. They add that most roads leading to the facility have been destroyed, which cuts Gazans’ access to safety and forces family members to search for their loved ones under the rubble with mobile phones. Similar attacks are also reported in the vicinity of the Al-Quds Hospital, where thousands of patients are receiving treatment, to which Israel has issued an . A puts four UN distribution centres and a storage facility out of action as hundreds of hungry Gazans — under an Israeli siege — break into these centres to steal flour. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres the situation desperate. “I regret that instead of a critically needed humanitarian pause, supported by the international community, Israel has intensified its military operations,” he says. Palestinians in northern Gaza report fierce air and artillery strikes as Israeli troops, along with tanks, press into the enclave with a ground assault. Airstrikes also hit Shifa and Al-Quds hospitals, where hundreds of Palestinians are seeking shelter. Bombing is also taking place in the southern areas of Khan Younis and Rafah. Combined with air attacks, Israeli forces are also using artillery shelling and flares — an aerial, infrared countermeasure against heat-seeking missiles, according to . An Israeli air strike on the densely populated Jabalia refugee camp, located on the outskirts of Gaza City, kills dozens and leaves hundreds injured. Rescue teams search for survivors amid twisted metal and two huge caters, . The Palestinian health ministry calls the attack a “heinous” massacre. Unicef spokesperson James Elder terms the number of deaths “appaling”, adding that Gaza has become a “graveyard for thousands of children”. Authorities in Gaza say two main hospitals in the strip are just down operations amid mounting injuries. Israel attacks Jabalia camp for the second time in a row, again killing and injuring dozens of Palestinians. According to the , it is the largest of Gaza’s eight refugee camps, spread over 1.4 square kilometres and housing more than 100,000 refugees — most having fled villages in southern Palestine after the 1948 War. In its bombing of Jabalia — which the UN says could amount to a — “whole families” were wiped out, reports. The dearth of required machinery forces family members and volunteers to dig through piles of rubble with bare hands searching for those trapped under collapsed buildings — a trauma that Palestinians say would live with them forever. To make matters worse, another phone and internet sweeps Gaza, Palestinian telecom provider Paltel says. As the bombing continues unabated, Gaza’s only cancer hospital after running short on fuel — which Israel has barred from entering the enclave. Even outside the strip, Palestinians continue to suffer. The UN humanitarian affairs office says the incidence of settler violence in the West Bank has more than doubled since Oct 7, with an average of seven attacks per day, up from three, . Israeli military encircles Gaza City, where the Al-Shifa Hospital is located. Thousands of Palestinians also remain in the area, with some trying to flee south — which although declared safe by Israel is still being bombed as by . Inside the hospital, medics describe the situation as “beyond catastrophic”. Without fuel, it is almost impossible to tend to the hundreds of thousands of patients. At the same time, 16 out of 35 hospitals in the strip are now , while 23 hospitals have been ordered to evacuate in Gaza City and north Gaza — what WHO calls a “ ” for patients. Charity organisation Doctors Without Borders says more than 20,000 injured people in the enclave have limited access to healthcare due to Israel’s siege. An on an ambulance convoy near the Al-Shifa Hospital in the blockaded Gaza Strip has killed 15 people and wounded 60 others. The convoy, , was transporting critically wounded patients from the facility to the Rafah border crossing. “We informed the Red Cross and the Red Crescent (PRCS), we informed the world world, that those victims were lined up in those ambulances,” says the spokesperson of the health ministry in response to the attack. “This was a medical convoy.” Israeli strikes also target a convoy of civilians in the north of Gaza seeking to evacuate. Fourteen Palestinians are killed. Even schools hosting displaced people are being attacked. The UN agency for Palestinians also reports similar attacks on and surrounding its schools and shelters across the enclave. An average Palestinian in Gaza is now living on two pieces of bread a day, Thomas White, director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. The main refrain now being heard in the war-torn streets of the enclave is “water, water”, he adds. A desperate food shortage is now choking Gaza as Israel only allows limited aid to trickle into the strip. In the meantime, it continues to attack hospitals and schools. Israel bombs three refugee camps, housing mostly women and children, in Gaza within a span of 24 hours, . At least 47 people are killed at the Al-Maghazi camp and dozens at the Jabalia and Bureji camps. Israel once again gives civilians in the Gaza Strip merely four hours to flee to the south — which though dubbed safe is still being bombed — along with a map showing the designated road. On the same day, Gaza also witnesses its since the war began as the Israeli military encircles Gaza City, dividing the strip into two. This prevents aid agencies from reaching out to workers across the enclave and thwarts rescue efforts. The death toll in Gaza from Israeli bombing 10,000, with one child killed every 10 minutes. journalists, however, report that the death toll may be much higher as hundreds are still stuck under the rubble due to a lack of machinery and other equipment. On the other hand, hospitals across the besieged Gaza Strip, including the largest Al-Shifa, are on the due to a lack of fuel, which could put hundreds of thousands of injured at risk. Palestinians also have to at bakeries as the only operative mill in the enclave remains unable to grind wheat. The UN humanitarian office an estimated 20,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank need specialised mental health services to come to terms with the psychological trauma of the war. A month of war and death. Gaza’s health ministry says over 2,500 people remain missing.

Meanwhile, the International Labour Organisation says that Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have , respectively, ever since the Israeli bombing began. These job losses amount to an estimated daily income loss of $16m — further pushing them into poverty and reducing their chances of a better life. Back in Gaza, the situation at shelters housing displaced people is increasingly . The UN agency for Palestinians says at least 600 people are sharing a single toilet. This is after Israel pushes thousands of Gazans out of their homes and into camps in the south, where there are not enough resources to sustain these many people. In the coming days, these appalling living conditions will result in widespread disease across the enclave. In a heartbreaking sight, the children of Gaza hold a press conference outside the Al-Shifa Hospital, begging the world to stop Israel’s bombardment. “We want to live. We want peace. We want food, medicine and education. Not bombs,” they plead. These are all children, barely over the age of 10, witnessing intense bombing and crying for help. They are seeing their parents, families, siblings and friends die. According to international agencies, the number of children killed in Gaza exceeds every other conflict. On the same day, Israel launches deadly airstrikes on Al-Shifa and other hospitals, . Meanwhile, calls regarding the dire need for urgent food assistance in the strip where Israel has allowed just a trickle of the aid needed. The Salah al-Din road, leading out of Gaza City, is crowded with Palestinians marching towards the south. They trudge past Israeli tanks and decomposing corpses. Mothers carry babies throughout the long journey, children hold their pets close to their chests. Some carry white flags. The visuals resemble that of the Nakba — the catastrophe of their mass dispossession in 1948. Israeli forces have to move south, which it continues to bomb, igniting mass displacement in the strip for months to come. Meanwhile, Israel strikes the vicinity of the Indonesian hospital with 11 missiles, damaging parts of the facility. Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital is also attacked twice. A huge blast is reported outside the Al-Shifa Hospital, where scores of Palestinians are seeking refuge and health supplies are . In the West Bank, the UNRWA chief the situation “is boiling”, as settler attacks on Palestinians and Israeli arrests peak. Amnesty International further that Israeli authorities have “dramatically increased” the use of administrative detention of Palestinians in the territory and failed to investigate incidents of torture or deaths in custody. Palestinians in Gaza are witnessing yet another horror. They are the strip’s biggest hospital Al-Shifa, where thousands are sheltering, after an Israeli strike targets the facility. It claims Hamas fighters have command centres around and under the facility. the hospital’s director general as saying that the strike hit civilians in the facility’s yard. “This led to a lot of casualties, including critical injuries. It could have been a massacre in this place because of the number of people in this complex,” Abu Salmiya says, adding that heavy clashes and bombardment are taking place next to the hospital. This puts medics and patients in a perpetual state of fear. “This is a war against hospitals and a war against all the [Palestinian] citizens,” he says. Alongside Al-Shifa, three other hospitals are also hit. Even along the evacuation route, declared “safe passage” by Israel, several fires are reported, the Human Rights Watch . Israel’s military brings the war to the front gates of the Al-Shifa Hospital, where operations have been suspended due to a shortage of fuel and medical supplies. Palestinian officials say and dozens more are at risk due to this. “We are minutes away from imminent death,” Salmiya, the facility’s director, . Palestinian health ministry spokesperson, Ashraf Al-Qidra, says Israeli snipers on rooftops of buildings near the hospital were firing into the medical complex intermittently because of which a patient in intensive care was killed.

The in Gaza is now at 11,000 but the UN says there is a delay in updating the numbers due to the collapse of services and communications at the hospital. At the Al-Quds Hospital, babies are suffering from amid ongoing Israeli strikes in the vicinity of the facility, which has stopped functioning. Meanwhile, the of Al-Shifa is now in ruins due to incessant bombing. Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila says Israeli forces “are not evacuating people from hospitals; instead, they are forcibly evicting the wounded onto the streets, leaving them to face inevitable death”. Towards the southern part of the enclave, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled in recent days, Israeli forces continue bombing. This leaves no safe space for the 2.3m residents of Gaza, 70pc of whom are now displaced. The head of WHO Gaza’s largest Al-Shifa Hospital has ceased to function and the number of fatalities is significantly increasing, reiterating that there is no safe passage out of the facility. The 600-650 inpatients, 200-500 health workers and approximately 1,500 internally displaced people inside the hospital are now helpless, forced to wait for death. Scenes from inside the hospital show premature Palestinian babies on ordinary beds after incubators stop working. Of the 45 babies, six have already died. It is feared the number will rise. Premature babies, who weigh less than 1.5 kg (3.3 pounds) each and in some cases only 700 or 800 grams, should be in incubators where the temperature and humidity can be regulated according to their individual needs. Doctors say they are not just dying, these babies are being slowly “killed”. Elsewhere in Gaza, Israel amps up its attacks. At least 31 people are killed in the Jabalia refugee camps in northern Gaza due to bombing, Palestinian news agency Wafa as reporting. Air raids are also reported in Khan Younis, where Palestinians are fleeing. Israel has informed officials in Gaza it will , says the health ministry spokesperson, adding that the facility is in a “circle of death”. Doctors report “continuous shooting, continuous bombing” around the hospital. Al-Shifa buries 179 people, including babies and patients who died in the intensive care unit, in a “mass grave” at the complex amid an Israeli siege. Separately, health ministry officials say all of Gaza’s hospitals may shut down within 48 hours, adding that Israel “bears full responsibility for its actions” against these hospitals. An investigation by the Committee to Protect Journalists the war, which began on Oct 7, has been marked as the most deadly period for media workers since 1992. In the southern part of the enclave, heavy rainfall floods shelters and makeshift camps set up by Palestinians. Amid a shortage of food, fuel and other necessities, Gazans children, who are lucky enough to escape the bombing, may just die from cold and hunger. After laying siege to Gaza’s largest medical facility for days, Israeli forces the Al-Shifa Hospital in the early hours of the day, trapping thousands of patients and displaced inside. Doctors at the facility that they can hear shots being fired from all directions. Meanwhile, journalists say Israeli forces have tried to “kill anyone moving inside”. WHO the military incursion into the hospital “deeply concerning”. The UN aid chief says hospitals are not supposed to be battlegrounds and expresses concerns for the Palestinians stuck inside the facility. But none of these condemnations stops Israel from doing what it does next. Meanwhile, the UN agency for Palestinians says 24,000 litres of fuel was allowed into Gaza, which can only run 9pc of its daily operations. But Israel isn’t allowing it to be used for water, sewage pumps or hospitals. Israeli forces are also telling residents of Khan Younis in the south to move to “known shelters”. This comes after the military forced millions of Gazans to flee the north for the south. The dawn of the new day comes, but at the Al-Shifa Hospital, raided by the Israeli forces, “catastrophe” continues to unfold. A journalist, trapped inside the facility, in contact with masked Israeli soldiers shot in the air and ordered young Palestinian men to surrender. About 1,000 men, hands above their heads, are in the courtyard, some of them stripped naked by Israeli forces checking them for weapons or explosives, he adds. In other parts of Gaza, shelters, schools and even mosques continue to get bombed. In the south, the main water plants have . Telecommunication companies in the Strip have once again as Israel does not allow any fuel inside Gaza to support operations. This means that the 2.3m people in the enclave have been now cut off from the world, agencies are unable to reach out to their workers and ambulances cannot reach the wounded anymore. On the other hand, the World Food Programme warns that the Gaza Strip is facing “widespread hunger”, with almost the entire population in desperate need of food assistance. “Supplies of food and water are practically non-existent in Gaza and only a fraction of what is needed is arriving through the borders,” it says in a . Unprecedented air attacks by Israel have hit bakeries and mills across the enclave. Gaza’s health ministry says the number of premature babies who have died at the Al-Shifa Hospital has , while in the last two days due to power cuts. This is reported as Israeli forces continue to occupy the facility, where thousands of Palestinians remain trapped. On the other hand, the UN the mass movement of Gazans, who were forced to flee north on Israel’s orders, the largest displacement witnessed since 1948. Separately, the WHO concerns over the spread of disease in the enclave after Israeli bombardments force Palestinians to live in dire conditions, in shelters and without food or water. Amid these concerns, whatever little aid was trickling into Gaza has stopped. The confirmed death toll in the strip now stands at 12,000. The Israeli military finally says it out loud; no place is safe in Gaza. “We are determined to advance our operation. It will happen wherever Hamas exists, including in the south of the strip,” Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari. “It will happen at the time, place, and conditions that are best for the military.” Residents are now the southern city of Khan Younis, where many of them came after fleeing the north. Once again, they gather whatever is left and relocate amid a worsening humanitarian crisis. Back in the north, Israel sheltering hundreds of Palestinians. Dozens are killed in the attacks, with the casualties feared to rise. At the Al-Shifa Hospital, which is now in ruins, medics and patients are told to leave within an hour. “We were forced to leave by gunpoint,” Mohammed Zaqout, director general of hospitals in Gaza, . Many people leave on foot. But “patients who cannot move, amputees and those with critical conditions” were forced to remain behind with a handful of medical staff, the director of Al-Shifa says. These patients also include premature babies. The WHO Al-Shifa Hospital a death zone and decides to evacuate the facility. Following a visit to the facility along with UN officials, the organisation says its team found a mass grave at the entrance and nearly 300 patients left inside with 25 health workers. Meanwhile, the most vulnerable patients, 31 premature babies trapped at the hospital without life-sustaining equipment during the Israeli raid, are in “one of the most compelling images during this conflict”. The health ministry says they will be taken to a hospital in the south and then transferred out of Gaza into Egypt. These newborns do not include eight of their peers who couldn’t make it out alive from Israel’s barbarous raid. The in Gaza, meanwhile, is now 13,000 after Israel kills dozens of people, including children, in airstrikes targeting northern, central and southern Gaza. The 31 premature babies evacuated from the Al-Shifa Hospital a day earlier are fighting severe infections, the , adding that none were accompanied by family members. Of them, 28 are sent to Egypt while three remain behind in a southern Gaza hospital. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have found their next target: the , which is the only facility trying to cater to Palestinians in the north despite running out of fuel. The hospital has been incessantly bombarded in recent days. In the south, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees says the situation of shelters is “unlivable”. Another aid group warns that over with Israel allowing barely a tenth of necessary food supplies to enter the enclave since Oct 7. Hospitals in northern Gaza are now completely out of service, the Palestinian health ministry says. Meanwhile, the occupancy of patients at these facilities has reached 190pc, . According to the WHO, 164 Israeli attacks have been recorded on health complexes across the enclave since Oct 7, resulting in forced mass evacuations, dozens of fatalities and casualties among patients and their families. Israel continues intense bombardment across Gaza, with the death toll now rising to 14,128. Of these, 5,000 are children — as a “horrifying milestone” by the Unicef. The United Nations adds that almost 160 children in Gaza are killed every day and the numbers are likely to surge amid the dire humanitarian situation created by Israel in the enclave. At a distance of 93.2km from Gaza, the situation in the West Bank is escalating with each passing day. The total number of Palestinians by Israeli authorities since Oct 7 is now 3,000. After days of relentless bombing, finally some good news: Hamas and Israel agree to a four-day in the war following efforts led by mediator Qatar. It entails releasing 50 women and children captives in Gaza in exchange for 150 Palestinian women and children in Israeli prisons. The starting time of the pause will be announced within the next 24 hours. But even with just a few hours remaining before the truce comes into effect, Israel continues to launch heavy air strikes and artillery shelling in southern Gaza, . It has also ordered the evacuation of the Indonesian Hospital, situated in the north of the enclave, and killed dozens in a on another medical facility in Wadi Gaza. The date and time for the temporary pause are finally announced; it will begin tomorrow, 7am. Israel has, until then, stepped up its attacks on Gaza. At least 27 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on a UN-run school, Abu Hussein school, in Jabalia refugee camp, the health ministry says. According to the Palestinian health ministry, Israeli forces struck the main gate, power generators and administrative building of the Indonesian Hospital, where at least 200 people are stranded, unable to leave. “This hospital is considered to be the main central hospital that is still operating in the north of the Gaza Strip, alongside another two central hospitals,” reports . The Israeli military has also the director of the Al-Shifa hospital — which has now become a “big prison” after the Israeli raid — for “questioning” while he was travelling in a WHO convoy with other medics and patients. On the other hand, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees warns of an outbreak of waterborne diseases in Khan Younis, where thousands of displaced Gazans are seeking shelter in tents. Skin diseases are also on the rise given unhygienic sanitary conditions due to overcrowding. In a statement, Oxfam says the number of premature births has in the Israel-besieged Gaza strip as mothers suffer from trauma and stress. It adds that at least one newborn has died in 13 shelters for displaced people in north Gaza over the past month. A four-day pause in Gaza finally .

As rescue officials in Gaza now have the safety to recover bodies stuck under buildings — reduced to rubble during Israeli bombardment — the UN says the has risen to 15,000.
