Al-Shifa hospital

Palestinian nurse Maha Sweylem came to the gutted shell of the Al-Shifa hospital in northern Gaza hoping for yet dreading news of her husband, who she said was a doctor there.

World Health Organization teams arrived at what was Gaza's biggest hospital Monday to help identify the bodies that litter the ruins.

Eyewitnesses report that the Israeli army is pulling back from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, as confirmed by an AFP journalist. Tanks are seen withdrawing from the premises, with the IDF allegedly firing shells to cover their exit before heading southwest of Gaza City.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in Israel Friday for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, ahead of a U.N. Security Council vote on a U.S. draft resolution noting the need for an "immediate" ceasefire that would allow in more aid.

World leaders have called for an investigation and a ceasefire nearly five months into the Gaza war after dozens of desperate Palestinians were killed rushing an aid convoy.

Concern grew on Friday for civilians trapped by fighting around Khan Yunis in Gaza's south, with the top U.N. court set to rule in a case against Israel over alleged genocidal acts in its campaign against Hamas.

"Reports of military incursion into Al-Shifa hospital are deeply concerning. We've lost touch again with the medical staff at the hospital. We're extremely worried for their and their patients' safety," the WHO director-general wrote on Platform X, Reuters reports.

The IDF believes the tunnels are also under Al Shaifa Hospital.
The goal of the Israeli soldiers is to enter the 500 km long network of tunnels located under Al-Shifa Hospital and Gaza City and destroy the terrorists who attacked Israel and killed 1,200 Israelis. But, that task is not at all easy, writes the Daily Mail.

Israel has approved the delivery of 24,000 liters of fuel for United Nations trucks in the Gaza Strip, Reuters reported, citing an unnamed source.

As they stated, there are bodies around the hospital that cannot be taken to morgues or buried.
WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier said that around 600 people remained in hospital, the BBC reports.

United Nations flags were flown at half-mast today at headquarters in Asia and Africa in mourning for the world organization's staff killed in the Gaza Strip.
