Israeli forces have besieged two more hospitals in Gaza, pinning down medical teams under heavy gunfire, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
Middle East crisis live: Medical teams at two hospitals in Gaza pinned down by heavy gunfire, Palestinian Red Crescent saysFootage from AFPTV showed wounded individuals arriving at al-Ahli hospital, some being transported by donkey cart. “There were very serious injuries, some of whom were injured by shrapnel. The reality is tragic, difficult and challenging,” Mahmud Basal, spokesperson for the civil defence department in Gaza, told AFP.
As stated in a report by the Qatar-headquartered Al Jazeera on Saturday, a key discrepancy centres on the number of Palestinian security prisoners Hamas is insisting must be liberated to guarantee the return of female IDF soldiers being detained in Gaza following the 7 October attack. The military offensive launched by Israel in the aftermath of the October attack has so far killed more than 32,000 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to local health authorities. A relentless bombardment has reduced swaths of the territory to rubble, displacing more than 80% of the population.
