UN: Mass Displacement, Hospitals Besieged in Gaza

Israeli military operations in Gaza have intensified, with the UN reporting that over 81% of the territory is now militarized or under forced displacement orders. This has led to the mass displacement of more than a million Palestinians and severe food shortages, leaving many families without adequate food and children suffering from hunger and trauma. Israeli forces have encircled and targeted the Indonesian and al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza, pushing the health system beyond its limits and leaving the wounded with little or no access to care. The UN and human rights groups have documented an escalating pattern of attacks on hospitals and residential areas, raising concerns about deliberate targeting of civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has linked any ceasefire to the adoption of a controversial plan for further displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. The situation has provoked international criticism and worsened the humanitarian crisis in the enclave.
