Israeli Forces Control Last Hospital in Gaza

Israeli forces have intensified operations around Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza amidst claims of a humanitarian crisis, with hospital officials reporting direct shelling and a lack of medical supplies. While Israel asserts that it is targeting Hamas operatives based on intelligence, the World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep concern over the situation, losing contact with hospital staff and indicating that many patients, including children, are at risk. The Israeli military did confirm the transfer of 23 patients to other facilities and the delivery of fuel and medical supplies, yet reports from Gaza’s health ministry claim that hundreds of patients and medical staff have been detained during the military raids. In the past 24 hours alone, Hamas-run health authorities report over 70 casualties due to Israeli strikes, with three Israeli soldiers also killed in the ongoing conflict. The UN warns that more than 150,000 individuals are dead, wounded, or missing since the outbreak of the war, with fears that Israeli actions could result in the near-total evacuation of Palestinians from northern Gaza. The situation remains critical as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) continue their offensive while facing international scrutiny over their operations in civilian areas.
