Israeli troops encircle Gaza hospitals
Israeli forces have encircled three hospitals in northern Gaza City where displaced civilians and journalists have taken refuge.
Palestinian health ministry officials say Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Nasr Children’s Hospital, and the psychiatric hospital - all part of the Rantisi medical compound - have been surrounded by Israeli tanks and soldiers, who are telling all people inside to flee.
The siege follows a series of overnight air strikes on several of Gaza’s hospitals, including Al-Shifa, the biggest hospital in the territory, which houses large numbers of displaced and wounded people.
The army reportedly targeted the hospital's maternity ward and outpatient clinic, with footage showing bloodied people on the floor surrounded by cries for help.
“Why, oh God why,” screamed a girl with her face covered in blood following the strike on the clinic.
