Israeli troops and armour have pushed deeper into the northern Gaza Strip, reaching built-up areas, as the UN and medics said airstrikes are hitting closer to hospitals, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have sought shelter alongside thousands of wounded.
The increasing ground operations come a day after 33 lorries carrying food, medicine and other supplies entered Gaza from Egypt – the largest convoy of humanitarian aid since the war between Israel and Hamas began.
The military said on Monday that overnight its troops had killed dozens of militants who attacked from inside buildings and tunnels, and that strikes had destroyed a building Hamas was using as a staging post. Communications were restored to most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people on Sunday after over a day without phone and internet services amid a bombardment residents described as the most intense of the war.
Israel says Hamas would use it for military purposes and that the militant group is hoarding large fuel stocks in the territory for itself.That claim could not be independently verified.With no central power for weeks, hospitals are struggling to keep emergency generators running to operate incubators and other life-saving equipment.Last week, UN officials said hunger was growing.
All 10 hospitals still working in northern Gaza have received evacuation orders in recent days, the UN’s Office For The Co-ordination Of Humanitarian Affairs said. Some windows were blown out and rooms were covered in debris. It said 14,000 people are sheltering there.
