"The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that Gaza's hospitals are on the brink of collapse as the Israeli military's ground invasion pushes deeper into the besieged enclave. WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday that the Israeli assault, currently centred on Gaza City, is driving new waves of displacement, forcing traumatised families into an ever-shrinking area unfit for human dignity."
"Israeli tanks and warplanes pounded Gaza City on Thursday, prompting long lines of scared Palestinian civilians to flee as the military intensified its assault. Internet and phone lines were cut off across the enclave, in a sign that ground operations were likely to escalate. The military continued to focus fire on parts of the city that suggest an imminent advance on central and western areas, where most of the population is sheltering."
"The injured and people with disabilities cannot move to safety, which puts their lives in grave danger, Tedros said. We call for an immediate end to these inhumane conditions. We call for a ceasefire. At least 14 people were killed by Israeli attacks on Thursday morning, including nine in Gaza City, hospital officials told Al Jazeera. By early afternoon, at least 29 Palestinians were reported to have been killed across the enclave since dawn, including 19 in the city."
Israeli military ground operations have intensified in Gaza City, pushing deeper into the besieged enclave and driving new waves of displacement. Hospitals in Gaza are on the brink of collapse, with only al-Shifa and al-Ahli remaining partially functional and facing acute shortages of medical supplies. Israeli tanks and warplanes pounded Gaza City, prompting long lines of civilians to flee amid internet and phone blackouts. Focused fire on central and western areas suggests an imminent advance where most people are sheltering. Injured people and those with disabilities are unable to move to safety, increasing risk of death. Reported casualties rose throughout the day.
