TL;DR Summary

Israel's intense bombing of the Gaza Strip continues, with the al-Shifa hospital described as a "bloodbath" by a World Health Organisation team. Israeli strikes on the Jabalia refugee camp and bombings in the central city of Deir al-Balah have resulted in numerous Palestinian casualties. The hospital is overwhelmed with patients, with trauma patients being treated on the floor due to lack of space and limited pain management options. A new mass grave has been discovered in Gaza, as options for burying the dead become increasingly limited. Meanwhile, the spokesperson for President Mahmoud Abbas condemns the ongoing assault by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government on a future Palestinian state. Pope Francis also condemns the targeting of defenceless civilians in Gaza, and US Senator Lindsey Graham warns of the consequences of not finding a resolution to the conflict.
