In Gaza City, the army fired a missile at an apartment, housing the displaced Farahat family, near the market in Sheja’eyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City, killing nine family members, and wounding many.

In central Gaza, casualties were reported after the army fired a missile at home in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

In addition, the army bombed the Shalfouh Bakery in the Jabalia refugee camp and added that the destroyed bakery was the only remaining bakery in northern Gaza, destroying it while the fire also consumed all the wheat along with everything inside.

Palestinian firefighter tried to extinguish the fire, but due to limited means and the ongoing bombing, destruction and siege on the coastal enclave, they were unable to control the fire.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Israeli forces are demanding the evacuation of Kamal Adwan, Indonesian, and Al-Awda hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, ordering all patients and medical staff to leave.

The ministry added that Israeli forces are besieging Kamal Adwan Hospital and firing at its administration office, warning that the hospital will cease operations within hours due to fuel shortages.

The administration of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza stated that the Israeli army is demanding the evacuation of the hospital of patients, medical staff, and displaced persons within 24 hours.

Dr. Husam Abu Safiya, Director of Kamal Adwan Medical Complex said: “The occupation army is explicitly threatening us, giving us 24 hours to completely evacuate the hospital of patients, medical staff, and everyone present. This is a dangerous measure that threatens the collapse of the healthcare system in the northern Gaza Strip.”

Medical sources also said that the army abducted a paramedic and obstructed the evacuation of premature infants.

They noted that Israeli forces are besieging Kamal Adwan Hospital and firing at the hospital administration office.

They explained that Israeli forces aim to disable the healthcare system to displace the residents of northern Gaza.

They continued, “We call on international institutions to break their silence and stop the unjust decision of the Israeli forces.”

The Palestinian Civil Defense reported on Tuesday evening that the Israeli army committed massacres in areas of northern Gaza Strip, coinciding with the fourth day of its extensive attack there, warning of the severe humanitarian situation due to the imposed siege.

The Civil Defense added in a statement, “The humanitarian situation in the northern governorate is becoming increasingly dire by the hour as the Israeli forces continue their extensive attack on Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia for the fourth consecutive day, imposing a strict siege and preventing the entry of water, food, and medical supplies.”

Earlier, the Palestinian Health Ministry said the army killed at least 56 Palestinians, and injured 278, most of whom are children and women, in several massacres in the central and the northern parts of the Gaza Strip.
