Palestinian journalist Hind Khoudary, reporting from Deir el-Balah, has said Palestinians are still being targeted in the area “designated as a safe zone”, Al Jazeera reports.

“More than one million Palestinians evacuated to Nuseirat, Deir el-Balah and other parts of the central area, and they’re still being targeted,” Khoudary said.

“The hospital is running on one generator. It’s lacking medical supplies and the doctors are overwhelmed with the number of injuries they are receiving every day,” Khoudary said.

“Behind me is a new extension the hospital made to receive patients because the hospital is crowded. There are no beds; people are lying on the floor […] The hospital needs at least 4,000 litres of fuel every single day,” she added.
