TL;DR Summary

The World Health Organization (WHO) has described Gaza's largest hospital, Dar al-Shifa, as a "death zone" with only 25 staff left to care for 291 seriously ill patients after orders from the Israeli army to evacuate. The hospital was raided by Israeli forces, who alleged it was being used as a command center by Hamas. The WHO and Palestinian Red Crescent have started evacuating patients, including 32 critically ill babies, due to a lack of facilities and supplies in Gaza. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, with a lack of electricity and basic necessities, and the death toll continues to rise.
