The director of Kamal Adwan Hospital stated that most of the wounded face slim chances of survival due to severe shortages in medical resources, as Israeli bombardments have also impacted the hospital's surroundings while the ongoing siege restricts the flow of essential goods.
Israeli occupation forces further escalated their operations by targeting the al-Fakhoura School run by UNRWA in Jabalia Camp, setting it ablaze.
Concurrently, heavy artillery shelling has devastated the Jabalia and Safatwi areas, compounding the dire situation for civilians.

Al-Hamas pointed out that there are about 110 thousand children in the north of Gaza who need the second dose of the polio vaccine, and that the spread of the disease in Gaza means its spread in the West Bank and 'Israel'.
Al-Hams called on the countries of the world to take action and not be satisfied with watching the war of genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The ongoing aggression, launched on October 7, 2023, has so far claimed 43,020 lives and left 101,110 injured, with most casualties being children and women.
