Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that the Israeli occupation forces have forewarned the administration of Al-Shifa Hospital of the need to evacuate the hospital of employees, patients, and the wounded.

This foreboding coincided with the IOF bulldozing operations in the eastern areas of the hospital.

An AFP journalist at the scene reported that the IOF warned the medical staff and patients over loudspeakers to "evacuate the within an hour."

Furthermore, the hospital's director, Muhammad Abu Salmiya, told AFP that he was called by the IOF and instructed to ensure "the evacuation of patients, the wounded, the displaced and medical staff, and that they should move on foot towards the seafront."

Quoting the head of the orthopedic surgery department, our correspondent said that a state of panic and terror had overtaken the hospital, noting that the medical staff refused to evacuate without the patients. 

In the same context, our correspondent said an Israeli aircraft conducted airstrikes at night in various parts of Gaza, especially in the vicinity of the Indonesian Hospital.

This occurred simultaneously with the arrival of a large number of martyrs to the hospital.

Our correspondent noted that the Israeli occupation aircraft launched phosphorus bombs west of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip.

Additionally, the occupation tanks stationed in al-Sabra neighborhood targeted civilians violently, leading to the martyrdom of many. 

Our correspondent also reported that the Israeli Occupation Forces also committed massacres in the Schools of Al-Fakhoura and Tel-Zaatar which had served as an asylum for displaced individuals.

The IOF had also conducted an airstrike against the main grain mill in Gaza. 

Our correspondent denied that any single liter of fuel has entered Gaza, contrary to the claims of the occupation. 

He added that the aid arriving through the Rafah crossing is very scarce and does not meet even a small part of the Strip's needs.

The medical supplies received are just basic tests and some canned goods, reaching the UNRWA. In addition to a large number of coffins. 

Our correspondent pointed out that the tents around the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital are filled with the bodies of martyrs, and a large number of patients and malnourished children are in severe danger in the absence of the basic necessities of life and treatment.

He noted that the occupation is seeking to shut down the Indonesian hospital, which would lead to a real catastrophe in the northern Gaza Strip.

The statement detailed that of the death toll of 12,000 people, this includes 5,000 children. In addition, more than 3,750 Palestinians are now missing. 

The Palestinian Government Media Office in Gaza said the number of missing people has risen to more than 3,750, including 1,800 children still under the rubble.

The World Health Organization reported earlier today that disruptions in communications due to the intensity of the ongoing aggression did not allow for any updates regarding estimates of injuries and deaths over the last four days.
