Residential buildings and hospitals

After a new day of attacks, the IDF has continued attacking the enclave throughout the night and, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israeli forces have committed 25 massacres after shooting at residential buildings. Thus, Israeli artillery and aviation have had as their main objectives the northern area of ​​the Strip, such as Jabalia and Beit Lahia, although they have also attacked Khan Yunis and Rafá, in the south.

The IDF has asked the local population to evacuate the northern area to intensify its bombing campaign, a demand criticized by the UN and various NGOs given the enormous difficulty in carrying out these transfers between air attacks, which adds to the impossibility of transferring the wounded and sick, among others. Furthermore, the Israeli Army has bombed the surroundings of the hospital Al Shifa, in the center of Gaza City, as well as that of the Al Quds hospital, in the west; Israel has issued warnings on numerous occasions to evacuate health centers under threat of bombing them.

According to sources from the Palestinian Ministry of Health consulted by the aforementioned agency, this is a strategy whose objective ands put even greater pressure on the Gazan healthcare system, which is practically collapsed, a situation that can be aggravated by the lack of fuel in hospitals. The same ministry has assured that the medical situation in the area is “at its worst” due to the large number of deaths and injuries within them. Furthermore, he explained that Israeli attacks have “wiped entire neighborhoods off the map” and that entire families “have been completely eliminated” in several cities.
