Intense Israeli aerial and artillery shelling has returned to Gaza City, where famine is expected anytime, as ground troops continue to operate in al-Shifa hospital.

Heavy air strikes were reported in various parts of the city, particularly in the west, levelling homes and killing several people. 

The exact number of casualties and extent of the damage are not fully clear yet, as paramedics and journalists struggle to move safely in the city.
