TL;DR Summary

Israeli forces have ordered the evacuation of the largest hospital in southern Gaza, Nasser Medical Complex, amid intense hostilities with Hamas fighters. The UN reports that the hospital has been under siege for around a week and is only minimally functional. The Israeli military claims to have opened a secure route for civilians but does not intend to evacuate patients and medics. The evacuation comes as the Gaza health ministry says more than 28,500 people have been killed in the territory since early December, and there is mounting concern about the lack of food, water, and sanitation for the displaced population. The UN's humanitarian chief warns that there is only 24 hours' worth of food left in the city and cautions against a potential Israeli ground assault in Rafah.
