      Israeli forces continue to operate in al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, where thousands of patients, medical staff and displaced people remain trapped.

      The health system has collapsed across the Gaza Strip, just one element of a wider humanitarian crisis. Israel has begun to allow fuel to enter the territory, but Palestinians say it is not nearly enough to meet humanitarian needs and prevent disease.

      Israeli forces continue to bomb locations across the entirety of Gaza, including in the southern part of the enclave, which had previously been described as a safe area for displaced Palestinians to travel to. Israel has indicated that Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, will be a focus of increased attacks.

      At least 12,000 people have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7. In Israel, the official death toll from Hamas’s attacks stands at about 1,200.
