Al-Shifa hospital Gaza (or whats left) - "The situation is very bad"
Israeli military forces have withdrawn from the #AlShifa medical complex in #Gaza City after a 14-day siege.
Injured and dead bodies fill the hospital grounds.There are bodies buried in the hospital yards, according to a civil defense spokesperson. The hospital is completely destroyed and burned down.
#IDF "is constructing a large facility…the size of two soccer fields…near the coast along the #Netzarim Corridor that cuts across #Gaza" (E/W) - "to inspect displaced Palestinians returning to the north" [Kan]
Palestinian land taken by Israel: 2km wide from border to sea PLUS 1km strip along border. Ch 14 map shows hospital, university, villages, farmland bulldozed by IDF:
For 6 mos #Netanyahu has imposed a #TotalSiege & let only "a trickle" of aid in via 2 crossings. #IDF also targets Palestinians awaiting food aid. On Feb 29, it killed 112 Gazans waiting for aid SW of #GazaCity, wounding 750
CEO Melanie Ward:“it is long past time for the US, the UK & others to use their substantial weight to ensure that their ally Israel immediately reopens land crossings"
Israeli forces are brutally targeting civilians in #GazaCity, burning homes near #Shifa Medical Complex.
"The Israeli army raided my house, separated women from men, and instructed women to go alone with their children to the southern areas of the Strip, before setting the house on fire" #Gaza
"Israel's military says it has uncovered a vast tunnel network in the heart of Gaza City that was used by Hamas to move weapons, militants and supplies."
Anyone who refuses to acknowledge Hamas' #warcrimes while complaining about Israel's military operations (where they warn civilians to get out of the way) is supporting #terrorism and #genocide
I want to see Israelis and Palestinians living in peace with each other.
But this is Hamas' war. This is what they wanted. And they wanted all these ignorant people to condemn Israel for defending its existence while remaining silent about Hamas' culpability.
Hamas bombed Palestinian caravans as they fled #Gazacity.
Hamas shot Palestinians who tried to flee from the hospitals.
Hamas did these things knowing that people would falsely blame Israel for them.
There is no hope for peace while Hamas exists. They only exist for the sake of carrying out war against Israel and all Jews.
They’re both wrong. #Hamas has been blocking Palestinians as they’ve been trying to leave #GazaCity, and AFAIK the #IDF is targeting northern #Gaza, and telling the Palestinians to go to the south. They can go south, if #Hamas does not block their path.
Israel bombed hospitals full of patients at night and surrounded them with tanks, according to Palestinian health officials. The Palestinian death toll in Gaza is now over 11,000.
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
Waving white flags and holding their hands above their heads, #Palestinian families fled past tanks waiting to storm #GazaCity in the next stage of the war that the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin #Netanyahu, has said will give Israel “indefinite” control over the besieged territory.
#Israel’s military gave civilians inside the encircled city a four-hour window to leave on Tuesday.
Thousands of people have fled al-Shifa hospital in #GazaCity, but health officials said the remaining patients were dying due to energy shortages amid intense fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas militants.
At least 32 patients, including three premature babies, had died over the past three days. Life-saving equipment such as incubators cannot run without fuel to run generators. #Israel#Hamas
Al Jazeera's Youmna ElSayed, reporting from #GazaCity, explains how she received a threat warning her to leave her home as heavy bombardment is heard in the background.
A journalist was filming the destruction in #Gaza when he spotted a child sitting in the rubble of what was once his family shop. It had been destroyed by an #Israeli air strike.
"Detained terrorists admit #Hamas using hospitals to shield themselves
"Member of Hamas's elite Nukhba force says terror group using medical institutions, especially #GazaCity's Shifa Hospital, because 'you won’t strike them'"
Fears that #Israel or international partners could pressure #Egypt into accepting millions of #Palestinians settling in the #Sinai have abounded for decades in #Cairo: #HosniMubarak strenuously denied reports in 2017 that he had cut a deal with #MargaretThatcher in 1983 to resettle Palestinians exiled in Lebanon in the peninsula, adding that #BenjaminNetanyahu, had also proposed the idea in 2010.
Was worried they were still underestimating #Hamas. The Azov battalion held off a much larger Russian force for 80+ days at #Mariupol. And #GazaCity underground is honeycombed with tunnels.
In the north of the #GazaStrip, Israeli armour was operating close to the #Mediterranean coast, while #Hamas said it was engaged in “heavy fighting… with the invading occupation force” in northern #Gaza.
Separately, witness reports from inside Gaza described Israeli tanks cutting the main north-south Salah al-Din Road south of #GazaCity. #Israel
#MANILA, #Philippines — The 131 Filipinos in #GazaCity have left the war-torn area after the Department of Foreign Affairs (#DFA) ordered their mandatory evacuation on Saturday night.
