The fighting in the Gaza Strip continues. Israel says it is attacking Hamas targets and reports finding Islamist rockets.
The Israeli military says it attacked terrorists near a hospital in the city of Gaza. The group planned an attack on the armed forces from a building next to the clinic, the army said on Telegram. The terrorists were holed up in the building.
According to the Israeli military, there was also another massive explosion during the air raid on Tuesday night. The army therefore suspects that there was also a Hamas weapons depot nearby. The military said it also attacked terrorists and Hamas targets elsewhere in the Gaza Strip.
The day before, Israel’s armed forces had also taken control of a Hamas “military stronghold” in the northern Gaza Strip, the army said on Tuesday. Among other things, rockets and rocket launchers were found on the site.
The army had previously announced that it wanted to increase pressure in the now completely surrounded city of Gaza.
US nurse describes plight in the Gaza Strip
A US nurse from the aid organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) described the dire medical care situation in the Gaza Strip in light of Israel’s attacks. Her team “saw children with massive burns on their faces, necks and all limbs,” Emily Callahan told CNN after her return to the United States. Because the hospitals are so overloaded, the children are immediately released and sent to refugee camps without access to running water.
“You are given water for 2 hours every 12 hours,” she added. There are also only four toilets in the center in Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip, which is run by the UN Palestinian relief agency UNRWA.
There are children with “fresh open burns and wounds as well as partial amputations who are walking around in these conditions.” “Parents bring kids to us and say, ‘Can you please help?’ But we don’t have any supplies,” Callahan said.
She and her team had to ask friends for help to get food and water, among other things. “When I say that we would have starved without them, I’m not exaggerating,” she said.
