Humanitarian Crisis Deepens as Fighting Evacuates North Gaza

Palestinian authorities have called for a cease-fire to evacuate dozens of newborns and patients trapped inside Gaza's largest hospital, Shifa Hospital, as Israeli forces continue to battle Hamas in the streets just outside. The hospital is running out of supplies and electricity, with no power for life-saving equipment such as incubators. The Israeli military claims that Hamas uses the hospital as a command base, but hospital staff and Hamas deny this. The situation in Gaza City is worsening as Israeli forces gain control, and the Israeli government is uncertain about the future of the territory after Hamas' defeat. The conflict has resulted in a high number of casualties and displaced people, with deteriorating conditions and limited access to basic services.
