As a days-long, intense Israeli bombing campaign continues in Khan Younis, the UN reports that almost 90,000 residents and 425,000 displaced people have been ordered by the Israeli military to leave certain residential areas in the city in southern Gaza. The Israeli military has killed three Palestinian civilians in strikes on the headquarters of the Palestine Red Crescent Society in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, the organisation says. \u201cThree displaced people were martyred and two others were injured as a result of the occupation\u2019s targeting in front of the northern gate of the association\u2019s headquarters in Khan Yunis,\u201d the medical charity wrote on X. Red Crescent official Nebal Farsakh warned yesterday that there has been a \u201csystematic targeting of PRCS premises\u201d by Israeli forces. Eight PRCS members have been killed in Gaza since October 7. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it\u2019s \u201cdeeply concerned for the safety of the people\u201d trapped inside Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza. \u201cThey must all be protected and allowed to leave if they wish,\u201d the medical group wrote on X. MSF earlier reported several streets in Khan Younis city, including where Nasser Hospital is located, received orders to evacuate from the Israeli army. The group warned it\u2019s impossible to evacuate the \u201cthousands of people\u201d inside the facility as nearby roads are \u201cinaccessible or too dangerous\u201d because of battles between Israeli forces and Palestinian fighters. Speaking at the UNSC meeting on the situation in the Middle East, Espen Barth Eide reiterated Norway\u2019s call for a \u201csustained and enduring humanitarian ceasefire\u201d in Gaza. Regarding humanitarian efforts, the Norwegian foreign minister said, \u201cWe cannot only count trucks.\u201d \u201cWe call for a radical step-up of humanitarian efforts, not only volumes,\u201d he said. \u201cWe also must look at the content, the efficiency, the access [of humanitarian aid] throughout the whole territory of Gaza. And we must improve coordination.\u201d Eide also called for a \u201cpolitical track\u201d towards Palestinian statehood. \u201cNorway recognises the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to have their own state. Not only in theory, but also in practice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
