"Israel's Strikes Force Shifa Hospital to Evacuate Patients, Staff, and Displaced"

Patients, staff, and displaced people have left Gaza's largest hospital, Shifa Hospital, leaving behind a skeleton crew to care for the remaining patients. Israeli forces are now in control of the facility. The exodus came as internet and phone service was restored to the Gaza Strip, ending a telecommunications blackout that had hindered humanitarian aid deliveries. Israel continues to expand its offensive in Gaza City, urging residents to evacuate for their safety. Attacks also continue in the south of the Gaza Strip, with an Israeli airstrike killing at least 26 Palestinians. The war, now in its seventh week, has resulted in a critical humanitarian crisis, with shortages of fuel, food, and water, and a growing number of casualties.
