Israel Expands Gaza City Offensive, Orders Evacuation of Jordanian Field Hospital

The new orders further strain Gaza’s already crippled health system.

Overview

  • Gaza’s health ministry says Al-Rantissi Children’s Hospital was badly damaged and the nearby Eye Hospital suspended services, leaving both facilities out of service.
  • A senior health official says the Jordanian field hospital in Tal al-Hawa was told to evacuate while sheltering at least 300 patients, staff and relatives.
  • Residents report Israeli tanks pushing deeper into Sheikh Radwan, Jala Street and Tel al-Hawa, with explosive-laden vehicles used to demolish houses.
  • Local health authorities report at least 25 people killed across the enclave in the latest attacks, most of them in Gaza City.
  • The Israeli military has ordered civilians in Gaza City to move south and privately told aid groups to clear most humanitarian sites; it offered no immediate comment on the hospital orders as Paris staged a peace projection and Italian unions held a strike and blocked an explosives shipment in Ravenna.
