Israeli forces open fire on Red Crescent building, killing three

Israeli forces open fired on the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) building in Khan Younis, killing three civilians and injuring three others, including an employee.

The organisation reported that Israeli snipers continue to fire at the building which is sheltering thousands of people. 

They added that Israeli gunfire was preventing their teams from transferring wounded to the nearby Al-Amal Hospital.

This comes after PRCS reported injuires after the collapse of Al-Amal's roof amid continuous Israeli bombardment.

The society also reported critical shortages of oxygen, fuel and food, with rainwater leakage and cold weather exacebrating a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation.

Patients with kidney diseases are most at risk and unable to be transferred to other hospitals.
