The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza said the Israeli military had withdrawn tanks and vehicles from the complex housing the besieged territory’s main hospital, al-Shifa, days after the launch of a major operation on the site. The ministry said dozens of bodies had been found at the complex, where a journalist and eyewitnesses saw tanks and vehicles pulling out. Eyewitnesses said dozens of air strikes and shells had hit the area around the complex. The government media office in Gaza said the Israeli air strikes had provided cover for the withdrawing vehicles. Gaza\u2019s civil defence and medical authorities are heading to al-Shifa Hospital for recovery operations following the Israeli withdrawal, says Moath al-Kahlout, reporting from Gaza\u2019s northern city of Jabalia. There is \u201cconfirmed news\u201d that the buildings of the complex and medical machines inside the hospital \u201care totally destroyed\u201d, al-Kahlout said. Dead bodies are scattered in the street near the hospital, he added. At one point, 107 patients were stuck inside the human resource development building, \u201cwhich is not prepared at all for medical care\u201d. UNICEF Regional Director for the Middle East Adele Khodr says Gaza is not just a humanitarian crisis but a \u201cmoral\u201d one. \u201cIt is a test for our humanity and ability to save the children\u2019s lives,\u201d she said on X, adding that it \u201cwill have a consequence on the future\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
