Israeli Offensive in Gaza City Intensifies as Hospital Reports Dozens Killed

Hospital reports describe a climbing civilian toll under Israel's Gaza City offensive.

Overview

  • Al-Awda hospital said at least 57 people were killed on Saturday, including nine from one family, with many deaths in Gaza City and Nuseirat.
  • Survivors and AFP images documented five Bakr family members killed overnight in an Israeli strike on the Al Shati refugee camp.
  • Shifa Hospital restricted access after warnings of approaching Israeli tanks, with drones overhead and 159 patients including 14 premature babies, its director told AP.
  • Israeli authorities repeated orders for residents to move south, and the defense minister said more than 750,000 people have evacuated since the push on Gaza City began.
  • Gaza Civil Defense reported lethal strikes across the territory, and AFP said media restrictions prevented independent verification of casualty totals as Netanyahu told the UN he would "finish the job" against Hamas.
