The Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced that more than 43,000 Palestinians, half of them women and children, have died in Gaza during the year-long conflict.
In recent days, a further 96 casualties have been reported as fighting intensifies in the north of the Gaza Strip.
“Israeli forces recently raided the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, detaining 100 suspected Hamas militants and 44 male hospital staff,” according to the World Health Organization.
The Israeli military claims militants use hospitals for military activities, which Palestinian officials deny.
Israel has urged northern Gaza residents to evacuate amid a prolonged offensive in the area, where humanitarian aid has sharply decreased.
The conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, has seen heavy casualties, with 43,020 reported dead and 101,110 injured in Gaza.
