Israeli forces have withdrawn from the eastern part of Deir el-Balah but bodies of victims keep arriving at a Gaza hospital, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports.

Civil defence teams were able to bring the bodies of five people who were killed in the area. “We’re expecting them to bring more bodies from eastern Deir el-Balah,” she said.

There have been a couple of air strikes in the area after the Israeli forces withdrew, as well as intensive artillery shelling throughout the night.

Al-Aqsa Hospital in the city has been appealing to the international community to intervene to provide it with medical supplies and fuel, as it is currently working with only one generator. Due to the huge amount of injuries it has received in the past few days, the hospital is overwhelmed, the report said.
