Summary
The al-Awda hospital in North Gaza has ceased operations following an evacuation ordered by the Israeli military, leaving the region without any functioning health facilities. Dr. Mohammed Salha, the hospital’s director, expressed the distress of the evacuation due to threats from the Israeli forces, which included potential bombings if the hospital did not comply. The World Health Organization highlighted the closure’s severe impact on healthcare access in the area, with ongoing hostilities contributing to a dire humanitarian situation, including at least 72 reported deaths in the past day.
