Situation in northern Gaza 'extremely dire': ICRC

Oct 27, 2024

Gaza border [Israel], October 27: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has described the situation in northern Gaza as "extremely dire" and said people wishing to evacuate must be assured safe passage.
"Ongoing evacuation orders, and continued restriction on introduction of essential supplies, leaves the remaining civilian population in north Gaza in horrific circumstances," the ICRC said in a statement.
Israeli forces have now withdrawn from Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, leaving a trail of destruction in the last functioning medical facility in the area.
"This is the 14th time the hospital comes under Israeli fire," hospital spokesperson Hisham Sakani told Al Jazeera. "Our doctors are now in Israeli detention, their families were killed."
Medical sources in Gaza told Al Jazeera that at least 22 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Saturday.
